FlyingMonkey Posted May 2, 2017 Report Share Posted May 2, 2017 Well, doing a little research shows I might have misued my terms. Since the energy involved in this discussion is motion and not positional, it's actually kenetic and not potential. But my point still stands that the airplane at 45kt IAS tn 10,000ft is carrying more energy than one at 45kt IAS at MSL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rhanson Posted May 2, 2017 Report Share Posted May 2, 2017 Not sure how much is enough - I apply back pressure during rollout on take off only gently - I did that one time too much and the plane took off before I think it should have. I have low time on CTLS and not sure what to look for. Any thoughts? Jnowak, Since you are EU, see if you can find the Swiss pilots Yannick Bovier and Francisco Agullo, who, in 2010 flew from Sion Switzerland around the world, in 2 CTs. They should have all possible rotation options for you. RH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ctfarmer Posted May 3, 2017 Report Share Posted May 3, 2017 And you should, to be correct over all such examples, quality your altitude terms as "density attidude", not simply altitude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, one thing I like about the CTLS, is that it speaks to you, clearly, when it is ready to fly and climb. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I shorthanded some of that since I figured we were all on the same page on that score. 10000ft DA has the same IAS numbers as 10000ft MSL in a standard atmosphere.

procharger Posted May 29, 2017 Report Share Posted May 29, 2017 I let mine take off when its ready, on grass I get a little hop and plane basically takes off on its own with no issues not sure of speed i watching out for trees on both sides Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chirurgo Posted June 17, 2017 Report Share Posted June 17, 2017 Is there another area for similar discussions for landing configurations,speeds,flaps and trim. I'm sure everyone has their own style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
