Takeoff performance
All data published in this section was obtained under the following conditions:
Aircraft at MTOM
Elevation: sea level
Wind: calm
Runway: grass runway
Data extrapolated for ICAO standard atmosphere
ALPHA Electro ALPHA Electro
Takeoff ground roll at MTOM 595 ft (181 m)
Takeoff runway length (over 50 ft/15 m obstacle) 930 ft (285 m)
NOTE In order to meet the data for takeoff runway length over 50 ft obstacle maintain V
x
(55
kts, 102 km/h) after take off.
The runway length required for takeoff may vary depending on the wind, temperature, ele-
vation and wing & propeller surface condition.
