Narrative:
Flaps 1 degree improved takeoff from runway 17R denver. I called V1; vr and noticed the aircraft was not rotating normally. I then watched the captain struggle on getting the aircraft airborne and thought we might attempt an abort. We were well past V1; approximately 175-180 KTS; with about 2500 ft of runway left. We were finally airborne with about 1000 ft of runway remaining. On landing; the captain stated that the aircraft seemed (felt) much heavier than our computed landing weight. Callback conversation with reporter revealed the following information: the reporter was the PNF and stated that his only recollection of the event was the abnormally long takeoff roll and the captain's comment on the heavy 'feel' of the aircraft at destination. No company input or additional information was available.

Narrative: FLAPS 1 DEG IMPROVED TKOF FROM RWY 17R DENVER. I CALLED V1; VR AND NOTICED THE ACFT WAS NOT ROTATING NORMALLY. I THEN WATCHED THE CAPT STRUGGLE ON GETTING THE ACFT AIRBORNE AND THOUGHT WE MIGHT ATTEMPT AN ABORT. WE WERE WELL PAST V1; APPROX 175-180 KTS; WITH ABOUT 2500 FT OF RWY LEFT. WE WERE FINALLY AIRBORNE WITH ABOUT 1000 FT OF RWY REMAINING. ON LNDG; THE CAPT STATED THAT THE ACFT SEEMED (FELT) MUCH HEAVIER THAN OUR COMPUTED LNDG WT. CALLBACK CONVERSATION WITH RPTR REVEALED THE FOLLOWING INFO: THE REPORTER WAS THE PNF AND STATED THAT HIS ONLY RECOLLECTION OF THE EVENT WAS THE ABNORMALLY LONG TKOF ROLL AND THE CAPT'S COMMENT ON THE HEAVY 'FEEL' OF THE ACFT AT DEST.
