SE takeoff
I know for a fact that a friend did this very thing in a Twin Otter in the Baluchi desert back in the '70s. It was either that or park it at an oasis for a couple of weeks waiting for a starter. No telling what would have been left when they returned. I am told that they cleared a wide swath of desert and did an arcing takeoff roll, getting airborne around 50 kts. Once airborne, he performed an air start and returned to pick up the pax for the return to Karachi. Bush flying, always an adventure.
