Well, thank you all for your thoughts, I'll make things simpler. National Publications do not differentiate from Doc 7030 EUR on the subject and the airport doesn't have any local instructions. So we're narrowing down to ICAO publications only.
LookingForAJob, although I agree with you regarding their intention, I don't think this gives you the right to use a non published intersection. Say there is a published intersection take-off position at the first available intersection from the beggining of the RWY for which all the conditions are not met, therefor it cannot be used despite it's published but one could use the next available, although not published and of even less length? Wouldn't make sense.
What's interesting is that whenever I've been asked by a pilot to approve an intersection departure - not published - and I state that there are not published reduced distances, most pilots will take full length... I'm reluctantly approving the rest of them - so far.
Any other thoughts before I wrap it up in my mind?
