Interesting post, Mr. Tommoutrie, with regards to not doing the regular rotation so as to avoid a tailstrike on departure.
On the clip taken at the end of the RWY one can notice the nose-wheel is already off the ground before he/she runs out of tarmac and (I assume) the weight is already off the mains, so that counts as a rotation in my book. Not familiar with the type or the airfield, though.
Would be great if the chap/chapess would like to share his/her own experience here!
