Aerotrek A220 Takeoff in Strong Wind

[@AymanRacing]

Pretty cool, about how short of a runway does it need? Im thinking of an a220, and am thinking of using a patch of grass in my backyard. I didn’t measure, but it should be around 120 feet with a 11 foot obstacle in front. How long of a runway does it normally need on a non-windy day

[@Curtster1962]

120 feet is nowhere near enough runway, especially with the obstacle. The book says minimum ground roll is ~350 feet, and that’s with a PRO at the the controls. I wouldn’t try anything less than 1000 feet, personally.

@@Curtster1962 ok, thank you. Ima inform my 2 neighbor2 on my situation, I just measured all of our yards in a straight line and it has about 470 feet of flat grass after taking down about 7 trees. Will that work, there is only a 6 foot shed to clear
