Are you sure it is the right aircraft type for those flights?
They (SATA) use it on a daily basis to operate on that runway. Perhaps is a special version of the aircraft, or they do other things (like limited weight from passengers and fuel) in order to takeoff from a shorter than usual runway. The landing distance is within limits though, but the aircraft is not able to land properly.
The simulator is the ideal place to test what happens. The DH8-200 model is not the best, but the 300 behaves more closely to the specifications, so I can do a takeoff test there.
Off course, the definite answer should come from the pilots operating that route. I can search in Portuguese fora to see if know more about it, or even get a contact.
On the portreekid comments about the code: I don't remember to see any acceleration value in the performance database. So, where is it reading this value?
