Description:
When the runway area is short or restricted by obstructions, the airplane must be flown precisely at its maximum limit of takeoff
performance. This results in the shortest ground roll and steepest angle of climb.
Common Errors:
•
Failure to utilize all available runway distance
•
Failure to properly trim
•
Premature lift-off resulting in high drag
•
Prolonging ground roll
•
Inability to hold Vx
•
Airspeed/instrument fixation
•
Premature retraction of landing gear and/or flaps
