Thank you for the confidence in my technical competence!
Improvements to RWY 20 takeoff weights resulting from the tree work cannot be quantified until new Type A Charts are published. As mentioned in my previous posts I would speculate that they will not appear until late February/March, probably too late for S20 schedule planning.
