| How is the "go/no go" determined? |

Hello,
Viper take-off distances range from roughly 1000 to 5000 ft.
A common distance for a jet with 2 370's is 2000 ft.
There is no such thing as a go/no go speed up to about 40.000lbs T/O weight. Heavier jets have a refusal speed. That's how it's called in fighters.
Cheers... |

| I was a boomer in KC-135s back 40 years ago, and I remember the co-pilot keeping track of the airspeed and location on the runway as we were in a takeoff roll. In the mission planning, the go/no go was calculated based on runway length and gross weight. We had to be at a certain speed at a certain spot on the runway or we aborted take off. |

Density altitude is also used in calculating the go/nogo point on the runway. Also know as V2 in pilot terms |

| The go / no-go decision in the F16 is directly proportionate to your gear position. Gear up - eject. Down - no go. With only 1 engine you don't have much of a choice in the matter. The 1500' or less t/o roll is only possible via an A/B takeoff in a clean / pseudo-clean config. Otherwise the BLK50 is normally around 3k. |

I think you mean V1 is the go/no go speed. V2 is the climb speed one would fly if they lost an engine in the early phase of flight. |
