Narrative:

As we began our taxi to the runway, controller asked if we would be ready at the end. We said yes. Controller explained that center wanted us up as soon as possible. This was the first officer's 4TH day on the line, and I did not want to overly rush her. Even so, we arrived at the end of the runway ready in a very good time. Tower controller gave us the instructions, 'keep it rolling around the corner, cleared for immediate takeoff.' I taxied out onto the runway as expeditiously as I thought possible, momentarily stopped, applied thrust and began the takeoff roll. Our company takeoff performance is based on us bringing the aircraft to a full stop prior to thrust application. Again, we stopped only for a moment. At 80 KTS the tower controller began to chastise us for stopping on the runway, and for us to be quicker. Since we were in a critical phase of flight, I directed my first officer not to answer the call. At 1500 ft AGL, again the controller chastised us for our perceived tardiness on the takeoff and to contact departure. The frequency was busy at this time, so I thought it best to acknowledge the departure frequency and to suggest that we would be happy to continue the conversation at a later time.

Original NASA ASRS Text

Title: CL65 CREW WAS CHASTISED BY THE TWR CTLR FOR NOT MAKING A ROLLING TKOF AT OMA.

Narrative: AS WE BEGAN OUR TAXI TO THE RWY, CTLR ASKED IF WE WOULD BE READY AT THE END. WE SAID YES. CTLR EXPLAINED THAT CTR WANTED US UP ASAP. THIS WAS THE FO'S 4TH DAY ON THE LINE, AND I DID NOT WANT TO OVERLY RUSH HER. EVEN SO, WE ARRIVED AT THE END OF THE RWY READY IN A VERY GOOD TIME. TWR CTLR GAVE US THE INSTRUCTIONS, 'KEEP IT ROLLING AROUND THE CORNER, CLRED FOR IMMEDIATE TKOF.' I TAXIED OUT ONTO THE RWY AS EXPEDITIOUSLY AS I THOUGHT POSSIBLE, MOMENTARILY STOPPED, APPLIED THRUST AND BEGAN THE TKOF ROLL. OUR COMPANY TKOF PERFORMANCE IS BASED ON US BRINGING THE ACFT TO A FULL STOP PRIOR TO THRUST APPLICATION. AGAIN, WE STOPPED ONLY FOR A MOMENT. AT 80 KTS THE TWR CTLR BEGAN TO CHASTISE US FOR STOPPING ON THE RWY, AND FOR US TO BE QUICKER. SINCE WE WERE IN A CRITICAL PHASE OF FLT, I DIRECTED MY FO NOT TO ANSWER THE CALL. AT 1500 FT AGL, AGAIN THE CTLR CHASTISED US FOR OUR PERCEIVED TARDINESS ON THE TKOF AND TO CONTACT DEP. THE FREQ WAS BUSY AT THIS TIME, SO I THOUGHT IT BEST TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE DEP FREQ AND TO SUGGEST THAT WE WOULD BE HAPPY TO CONTINUE THE CONVERSATION AT A LATER TIME.
