You continuously talk about a required takeoff length of 5000 on a 10,000 ft runway, but what if the runway was 8000 ft or even 6000 feet, what is your concept of an acceptable margin? Would you consider "putting it down again after VLOF"? Also considering that you are here to educate us, kindly tell us WHAT VERSION of FAR 25.109 your last aircraft was certified under.
We employ 1500 pilots...... EVERY LAST one of them is trained to GO AT V1.... and I'm not just talking about airline flights, but the highest level of VVIP. So are they all wrong ?
Finally, apart from 1, all of our corporate aircraft have the ability to use FLEX/REDUCED THRUST... so it appears that even corporate aircraft/engine manufacturers don't agree with you.
GF..... they have some interesting items installed that require a checklist
