SAMPLE PROBLEM

TAKEOFF

The takeoff distance chart, Figure 5-3, should be consulted, keeping in
mind that distances shown are based on the short field technique.
Conservative distances can be established by reading the chart at the
next higher value of weight, altitude and temperature. For example, in
this particular sample problem, the takeoff distance information
presented for a weight of 1320 pounds, pressure altitude of 2000 feet
and a temperature of 30°C should be used and results in the following:
Ground roll
Total distance to clear a 50-foot obstacle
These distances are well within the available takeoff field length.
However, a correction for the effect of wind may be made based on
information presented in the note section of the takeoff chart. The
correction for a 14 knot head wind is:
14 Knots
This results in the following distances, corrected for wind:
Ground roll, zero wind
Decrease in ground roll (860 feet X 20%)
Corrected ground roll
Total distance to clear a 50-foot obstacle, zero wind
Decrease in total distance (1495 feet X 20%)
Corrected total distance to clear 50-foot obstacle
