Thanks

Here in MIA I see the AA 738's, BWIA 738's, and Miami Air's 738, all of them take a lot of runway for departure.

I think the best reason is the "Flight Management System".

BUt is that system exclusive of the 737 NG?

Because the 752, and 763 I see take half of the way, and why shouldnt they be also limited?

Like the runways in MIA are long, thats nice, but I imagine the AA 738 taking off in Grand Cayman where the runway is really short.
