As we lose count of the number of lights various we may or may not see at 60kts or otherwise, I recall in a UK company with a UK TRE operating UK CAA approved procedures, we were told that a rated thrust takeoff may be considered better in LVPs as you would have more distance to stop in crap vis and the V1 would be lower.

It also provided greater swing tendency in the event of the inevitable RTO or EFATO, so testing our ability to stay on the runway or get airborne safely with this extra handling difficulty.

Has this advice been blown out of UK tests and would the lights counters like to ponder the wisdom or otherwise of such training?

Just a thought to sway the topic away from your OM versus my OM!!

P S. Obviously the wise pilot wants as much runway in front of them in conditions such as these.........................................
