We will depart on runway 23, which is 3910 ft long, our ground roll will be 1270 ft long, I will abort the takeoff if not airborne by the highspeed taxiway. The wind is from 180 at 8 knots, which is a 6 knots crosswind component; I’ll hold full left aileron at the start of the roll. Flaps will be at takeoff, mixture leaned for density altitude, full power, rotate at 44 knots and climbout at Vy 75 knots. After takeoff, we’ll make 10 degree left turn for noise abatement, then a further left turn to heading 210 and up to 4500. If we have any problems before rotation or with adequate runway remaining after liftoff, we will abort. Standard emergency procedures will be used in the event of engine failure without adequate runway remaining. Best glide is 73 KIAS. We won’t even think about returning to this airport unless we are at 1,000 AGL. Any questions or comments?
