MTOW, Sea Level, NIL Wind, Level/Paved Runway: TODR = 495 m

+20% Dry/Short Grass, +10% Uphill Slope, x 1.33 CAA Safety Factor = 870 m.

(Hot & High: +10% 1,000 ft Airport Elevation, +20% ISA + 20°C = 1,150m)

MTOW, Sea Level, NIL Wind, Level/Paved Runway: TORR = 220 m

+20% Dry/Short Grass, +10% Uphill Slope, x 1.33 CAA Safety Factor = 390 m.

(Hot & High: +10% 1,000ft Elevation, +20% ISA + 20°C = 515m)

Notes:

• “CAA Safety Factor” mitigates against POH figures being “over optimistic”.

• The POH provides no data for “Flaps Up” Take-Off.

• Full Weight and Balance calculations need to be considered.

Fuel “At Tabs”, plus 2 x 90 kg (2 x 200 lbs) Adults, No Baggage, equates to TOW 2,086 lbs

(945 kg) - circa 87% of MTOW = Possible Reduction of: TODR by 20% and LDR by 10%.
