'not airline',

I had to respond, it is just too rich!!

You need a shovel for the hole you are digging!!

It is a Part 121 regulation. Part 121 is the airlines......

Flight operations are often referred to by the part of the regulations that governs them. So, large operators such as American Airlines, Delta Air Lines, Federal Express, Southwest Airlines, and United Airlines are typically referred to as Part 121 carriers.

Part 121 - OPERATING REQUIREMENTS: DOMESTIC, FLAG, AND SUPPLEMENTAL OPERATIONS

Sec. 121.189 — Airplanes: Turbine engine powered: Takeoff limitations.

The accelerate-stop distance must not exceed the length of the runway plus the length of any stopway.

V1 concept is critical to takeoff planning. The FARs require the flight crew of a transport-category airplane to ensure that the runway intended for use (including any clearway or stopway off the end of the runway) is long enough to allow the takeoff to be safely continued or rejected from a predetermined go/no-go point on the runway. The go/no-go point is where the airplane reaches V1 while accelerating for takeoff

Dispatch and the PIC both have to sign the release and the flight plan. You are both jointly responsible for the planning. If you are not doing the planning, you will not catch mistakes and they do happen. In short, you are not doing your job and will be held responsible for not doing your duty as PIC.
