seriously A320

If Im 3 T below my runway limit weight...how much extra stopping distance would that give me? 200m?100m?50m?
What about 4Tonnes?or 5T?
Does BA give you this info?

What if on that day,i were slower to initiate reject that day?(tired..)..how much these few extra knots convert into meters?

Yes we must balance between many factors, if im cleared for immediate take off, i will use shallow entry as thrust is increased during the line up which counteracts the loss of runway length./or shallower entry if runway is covered by snow or narrow runway...

But please get off your BA HORSE and keep your Captain worth recommendations for your cadets..
