I apologize for posting this thread in the majors forum but it looks as if the training forum is pretty dead.

I was doing some studying and completely forgot.

If you're taking off from a runway in a multi-engine or jet and the opposite side of the runway has a blastpad, can you use the blastpad as part of your accelerate-stop distance?

I've been out for a while and I was having trouble finding the answer. Sorry.
 
What if the plane is on a treadmill? Will it be able to takeoff?

Yes.

"As long as the treadmill is moved at or beyond V1, and the treadmill does not use a blast pad in the ASDA calculation." - CFR121.235
 
if the blastpad doubles as a treadmill you're allowed to subtract 4% hydraulic pressure per degree Rankine of the treadmill surface. I learned that at Embry Riddle.
