thanks for the answers; what do you think about following idea as a result of 90% of my a320 take-offs beeing done with 1.4 vstall:
now you have the chance to transfer speed energy back to altitude should you get in trouble just after decision "go".
a simulator exercise on a 321 with max take-off weight and engine failure and gear not retractable showed that by "zooming back to vma" we were at about circling altitude of 600 feet giving the chance to stay overhead while dealing with the problem instead of flying away from "safe heaven" giving on the other hand no losses due turns.
