N704CK aborted take-off

Discovering the thread to-day, I agree that all relevant information but one were quoted from the local media.

The pilot in charge was well aware that he would take off from runway 20, as he requested permission to back track to the threhold to use the maximum available length instead of joining 20 at the first intersection.

Various computations shown on Luchtzak confirming that the runway length was not too short providing that the entered weight was correct.

Regards
