Throughout this Section we will
consider the following
specifications an example to
demonstrate usage of the
performance charts.

TAKEOFF
The takeoff distance chart, figure
5-4 should be consultet, keeping
in mind that that the 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, a
weight of 2400 pounds, pressure
altitude of 2000 feet and a
temperature of 30°C should result
in the following: •
A correction for the effect of wind
may be based on Note 3 of the
takeoff chart. The correction for
a 12 knot headwind is:
This results in the following distances, corrected for wind:
