I'm having trouble with a math problem. This is posed on the commercial checkride the examiner I'm using does.
3067ft runway
Field Elevation is 4154
29.62
30°C
1200 ft off runway, 150ft building.
Vx on this plane is 82 and with the performance charts I've established that the aircraft will take off at 2100ft, climb to 50ft at about 3000 ft. Which leaves me 100 ft to clear the obstacle and only 1200ft to do it in. The correct answer is clearing it by about 320 feet, but when I've asked my instructor if he could help reproduce the answer we crash into the building by 20 ft too low.
Could anyone lend a hand?
