Abstract
TAKE‐OFF performance requirements for transport category aircraft have been the subject of many technical discussions and conferences and having taken into account the opinions and suggestions of many interested parties, the FAA have decided to add new standards for approval of a reduced take‐off decision speed (V1) methodology. This would be for take‐off on wet and precipitation contaminated runways and it is considered that the proposal to lower V1 by allowing a reduced clearance over the end of the runway (screen height) would provide an increase in safety for rejected take‐offs on wet and contaminated runways.
