d.f.
It was my previous airline SOP during LVP T/0(when rvr between 400 and 125 M).
SOP of an airline isn't a regulation. Let's be clear there's no restriction as per regs to conduct a intersection takeoff in LVO.
To answer your second question: YES and I've been asked for acceptance of intersection takeoff in LVO not to be delayed, etc. As long as performance is calculated from the intersection, don't see a problem there.
During LVO t/o directional control is the most important factor thus less thrust equates to weaker yaw moment in case of EO at low speed. Simple logic. How much less time will you spend on the rwy with TOGA? 5 secs. This is a discussion for a tech thread anyway.
