this would be spot on....

So just to recap, the guy failed his interview.

I am online, so No, I didn't.

I was actually correct in my interview because the way the question was presented to me included that the performance gave the same flap setting. With the same flap setting, V2 would indeed stay the same as it is indeed weight dependent. My mistake was made in my post because I left out that (important) part about the flaps staying the same.

Just a case of some omitted info on this forum

I wasn't asked a single tech question. Seems as though they tailor the questions based on your background. I know those with less experience were asked a lot.

What color hats do Delta pilots wear? What are the junior domiciles at FedEx? What would you consider average pay for a widebody FO?

Get those right and you'd be considered a flight risk.

No, it may not. The concept here is "improved climb". Runway length is one thing, but obstacles are an even bigger player, even though we pilots don't normally "see" them in terms of number crunching.

I used to work these numbers for a simple airline flying fairly simple equipment. I have drawn a lot of lines on AOC charts. There are many compromises made to generate simple weight cards, and very few operators are willing to make them anymore. Certainly not any heavy equipment operators.

Everything above the regulatory relationships to Vmca and Vmcg is a variable. Everything. And be wary of anyone who uses the term "Optimal". Optimal for the engine manufacturer, the guy buying the fuel and the pilot with a couple of kids at home are often 3 different things.
