TAKEOFF
The takeoff distance chart, figure 5-4,should be consulted. keeping in
mind that the distances shown are based Onthe 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 3100pounds, pressure altitude of4000feet and a temperature of
30°C should be used and results in the following:
Ground roll
Total distance to clear a 50-foot obstacle
1215Feet
2310Feet
These distances are well within the available takeoff field length. How-
ever, a correction for the effect ofwind may be made based on Note 2 ofthe
takeoff chart. The correction for a 12knot headwind is:
