How to Use This Calculator
- Look up the base takeoff ground roll from your POH at sea level, standard temp.
- Enter current pressure altitude, temperature, and wind.
- Enter your actual gross weight from the Weight & Balance calculator.
- The result must be less than available runway length. Apply a safety margin.
