Not much room left for RTO runoff! (I realise no RTO post rotation - but judging from the photo, there would not have been enough room if RTO had occurred just before V1).

I'm not an expert on heavy jet operations Phillip, so excuse me if I'm feeding you rubbish, however because of the short runway, V1 would have been earlier than usual to permit a safe RTO, . V1 is always different, because it is based on several things such as the runway length, weights, atmospheric conditions, etc. etc.

Thanks, Mick - appreciate the explanation. Great thing about this Board is how there's usually someone who knows stuff others don't so we can all learn from each other.
