Right, I forgot about altitude, but logically that should also be taken into account as for reducing the MTOW depending on available engine thrust for a given air density. But as you've said, for a near sea level altitude and for an air of no more than 35 Celsius (cooler air gives more engine thrust), if the plane is way past V1 (as I initially said) and V2 is reached (so the aircraft can safely keep climbing with just one engine), can an MD-82 continue to takeoff when it weighs 149500lbs? That's all I'd like to know.

Thank you!
