Video of routine ground effect TO w/alt loss

[Dave Krall CFII]

Typical for Memaloose Oregon at over 6000' elevation (DA's always a factor) and up hill, ground effect take off down over rim and down into canyon, plus other good videos such as Big Bar and Chukkar Flats:

Thats a cool site. If I ever get the money I really want to do back country flying.

Yep, cool stuff.

The audio leads me to believe they may have simulated a higher than existing DA.

When we do that take off on a hot day in a fully loaded SkyHawk, there is no need for simulation and the actual flight path is just about identical to that in the video. Similar to the edge take off into its canyon at Soldier Bar ID too in some ways.
