1. Short field technique as specified in Section 4.
2. Prior to takeoff from fields above 3000 feet elevation, the mixture should
be leaned to give maximum RPM ina full throttle, static runup.
3. Decrease distances 10% for each 9 knots headwind. For operation with
tail winds up to 10 knots, increase distances by 10% for each 2 knots.
4. For operation on dry, grass runway, increase distances by 15% of the
“ground roll” figure.
5. Where distance value has been deleted, climb performance is minimal.
