thanx a lot for your input ...
Davies actually also talks about CAR4b in his book ...
I'm at the moment flying similar category aircraft (RA06): screen height = 50' and V1=Vr ... in the event of an engine failure the recommended procedure is V2 to 400' - accelerate to Vyse - flaps up ...
all very well and acceptable, but still not clear to me why 15'/35'/50' ... and what about the ground effect in connection with screen height ... how is it established/certified and why does it differ from case to case?
By the way, it's correct as stated in one of the posts: if screen height reduced to 15', V2 still has to be achieved at 35' ...
but again, why the 15' foot and what is it all based on? ... what about the ground effect? ... or if not the ground effect theory, what else is it that determines screen height?
thanx
