Gentle take-offs at high speed
Mxsmanic wrote: Is there any harm in taking off at a relatively high speed and very gently? There seems to be plenty of runway in most cases for small aircraft. If I leave the ground at 120 kts instead of the normal rotation speed, I find that I can lift off ever so gently. Realistically, airplane tires aren't designed for that kind of speed and associated heat buildup. It would probably cut down on your tire life (not to mention wheel bearings) dramatically. -c PP-ASEL-IA
