Taxi to Parking
Short field take offs. Why not implement part of the soft field technique when starting the take off roll? Instead of taxiing onto the runway getting lined up, and then holding brakes and adding power, why not hold the brakes and add power before taking off. You will accellerate more slowly from a complete stop than you do a slow roll. So why not add power before getting on the runway just like we do with soft fields?
I haven't done take off rolls measuring this yet, but I have noticed when doing this, I use less runway.
