Question on V1
I understand how V1 is calculated and the factors affecting balanced field length (i.e. mass and thrust available). However, I'm unable to determine for certain whether or not wet or contaminated runway and shorter runway affects V1 if at all.
Wet or contaminated runway?
decreases v1 due to rebalancing of balanced field length (higher accelerate go distance and lower accelerate stop distance)
Shorter runway?
decrease V1-weight restricted and field limited
Any help is appreciated Also, any links to an approved vendor explaining the reasons would be appreciated.

So you're saying that my desire to work at Atlas should trump my desire to fly the 747, and that my wife and I will have a better QOL if offered the 767?
I understand the training on the 74 isn't the greatest, but this is the first I've heard the term 'toxic' applied to the training program. That doesn't give a guy warm fuzzies.

So, if I have taken the online test in late October and scored REALLY well, but have yet to hear anything, am I still ok and should consider the Holiday season as the discriminator for the silence? Thanks!

QOTD! 12k+ hours TT and 7k+ jet PIC and I'd have to think long and hard about this stuff. It isn't like the good old days when we had charts and plotters out determining this kind of thing. Now we inout numbers and wait for Aerodata to comeback with a go/no-go, flap setting, and a trim setting and call it a day! LOL
you'll actually have to remember how to be a pilot again!

I'm in the same boat. Took the test a few days after getting the invite, got a 92 and then crickets. Hope to get a call sometime, maybe after the new year. I hear theres a backlog of newhires.
