Not that it matters much flying a 172 but I had a question that I'm sure someone can enlighten me on.
Does V1 depend somewhat on runway length?
The way I understand it, V1 is the go no-go speed. I think??? that it is the speed at which you can still safely abort the takeoff with the runway remaining. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
Do you have to factor runway length into this equation? Say you are taking off on an 10000' runway and abort at V1 and end up at the end of the runway after stopping. Wouldn't it spell potential disaster if you did the same thing on an 8000' runway?
Thanks for any input
