Enter the Accelerate-Stop graph at 15°C, 5650 feet pressure
altitude,
3900 pounds, and 9.5 knots headwind component:
Accelerate-Stop Distance
3250
ft
NOTE
Since
3250
feet is less than
the
available field
length
(10,010 ft), the accelerate-stop procedure
can
be
performed at
any
weight.
Takeoff
at
3900
Ibs can be accomplished. How-
ever, if an
engine
failure occurs
prior
to retraction
of
landing gear, the accelerate-stop procedure
must
be
performed (even if airborne, unless suf-
ficient altitude
is
available for retraction
of
land-
ing
gear
while descending).

The
following
example
assumes 15°C, SL pressure altitude,
and
a take-off
weight
of 3350
pounds.
