He who ironically no longer flies an AA5B
How would y'all feel about departing a 7,500' runway in a 180hp Tiger @ a density altitude of approximately 10,000'?
It would be as lightly loaded as possible, 2,095# of 2,400# gross. A DA of 10,000 is literally off the charts in the POH for takeoff performance, but it appears that conservatively extrapolating from the numbers listed at 8,000', it will take approximately 5,000 ft of runway to clear a 50' obstacle.
Makes me (again) want to upgrade to a 182...
