No, it was using the mid weight TOW chart found in the POH, adjusted for
density altitude, rounded the wind down to a steady 20kts and totally disregarding the 41mph gusts. It would not be beyond reason to believe that the pilot may have attempted to rotate early, climbed into ground effect, encountered a gust, and stalled. If he would have used the 70% of take off speed within 50% of the runway length rule of thumb, he would have pulled the power adjacent to the windsock that was out his co-pilot window and pointed nearly in his direction of travel, he drove right past it.
