added the bit about MTOW from A330 FCTM
Sep 1, 2017 at 3:35 comment added Terry @RalphJ FWIW, in the 1980s and 1990s on the 727 and the 747 at the two carriers I flew for, we were not allowed to do reduced thrust takeoffs on contaminated runways. As I remember, when the contamination was just rain, it was the captain's call as to whether it constituted standing water.

Oct 11, 2016 at 20:46 comment added kevin @RalphJ I believe the concern is the reduced friction on the runway, which lowers the tire's traction to counter an asymmetrical thrust condition until sufficient airspeed is achieved.
Oct 11, 2016 at 20:43 comment added Ralph J The statement that you can't do an assumed temperature takeoff with standing water, slush, snow, or ice MAY be specific to the 777 rather than universal. Clearly, with stuff on the runway, lots of power is a good thing, but I think there are some operations that can do assumed temperature with at least some of those, if all other parameters are met.
Oct 11, 2016 at 20:41 comment added kevin I didn't mean to answer my own question. I was waiting for some airline pilots to shine some light on the information I have, but since (apparently) no one has...
