Judging Distance

Its a tough one doing touch`n`goes. Being used to the Airfield and runway makes the difference, having an idea of what the remaining amount of usable runway looks like will help. But, at the end of the day it boils down to one thing, and one thing only -

- if in doubt, there is no doubt.

Get on the brakes. taxi off the active, go thru the departure checks again and get back in the circuit.

Taking off in difficult conditions, heavy, grass etc should be part of the basic weight and balance calcs that you have already learnt. It is either a go, or it isnt. No half way allowed!

Enjoy your flying, but make sure you are comfortable with the above!
