Give yourself as much runway as you can. I have flow in density altitudesof over 10000' and the standard day numbers, and rules of thumb can get youstuck in the middle of your 50' obstacle if you push it. You also have totake into consideration the wind and runway slope.Stevee-----Original Message-----Richard DeCosta Sent: Tuesday, September 01, 1998 8:51 AMSubject: Pietenpol-List: clearance?Ive read that Piet's can get off the ground in as little as 150 ft,but what distance is needed to clear a 50 ft. obstacle?Richard DeCostaWeb/CGI Programming - Auto Europe, LLC Web: http://www.autoeurope.com Ph: 207-842-2064 Fax: 207-842-2239PERSONAL: http://www.wrld.com/w3builder__________ ... __________
