However, for balanced field length a second correlation is given taking into account different levels of deceleration in the stopping phase.
A parameter is added to the correlation including the ratio decision speed/take-off safety speed; a correlation for that parameter is also included depending on the average deceleration available during the stopping phase and a table is given of typical values depending on runway condition and braking methods available.

 CareerJournal | Corporate Jets Take Off As a Popular Perk
The GE case and a speech in October by Alan Beller, the director of the SEC's division of corporate finance, have put companies on notice that the SEC believes its guidelines call for fuller disclosure of retirement benefits than some companies have given in their filings with the agency.
Beller called for board compensation committees to take a "fresh look" at their disclosure of executive compensation in general, and specifically cited the GE case as an illustration of the agency's position on disclosure of retirement benefits.
However, the Internal Revenue Service says it is taking a harder look at these claims, given the surge in the number of people making them.

The rotor is driven by jet exhaust channelled through nozzles in the tips of the blades.
