Has anyone done calculations for takeoff distances for various density
altitudes, weights and winds for their sailplane-towplane combination? Every powered plane POH has a table but there are none in the glider books for obvious reasons (HP of towplane for one). The Arizona Soaring Assn flies out of some high (6600') and short (3900') runways (not concurrently) and in our typical conditions would like to fly with ballast but are revisting the idea that we should limit weights after some long takeoff rolls and/or slow climbs. We usually do not have good bail out options at most of our fields for rope breaks as an added issue. Casey Lenox Phoenix KC |
