Line Up and Wait
Flew the family to KCUT to see Mount Rushmore this weekend as a little get away. Nice place, field around 5600'. I departed on Saturday morning, Density altitude was at 7,000'. I landed on runway 8 on arrival. Departing on 8 there was 5 knot tailwind or I could depart 26 which has 1.3 degree uphill grade.
I pondered a little, wasn't close to gross. Have the Turbo, and everything has been running well.
I chose 26 and everything went well. Personally I think they kinda cancel each other out!
While chatting with another pilot prior to departure he brought this issue up and I'm curious how anyone else would think about it.
