I’m not Lindbergh… This trip was ambitious for me, but quite common in the general aviation community. I spent a few months researching aircraft performance and high altitude airport flying techniques. Small aircraft are designed for these kinds of flights. So, the airplane performs like it’s at 10,000 feet.

The airplane’s engine, propeller, and wings, which have struggled all summer against the ravages of high temperatures and density altitude, are now in their happy place. Push the throttle forward for takeoff, and you might as well be in an F-15 Eagle roaring down the runway.

The current emphasis in general aviation (GA) safety is on visual angle of attack (AOA) indicators and impossible turns (return to the airport following engine failure). The current emphasis in general aviation (GA) safety is on visual angle of attack (AOA) indicators.

Simply put, if you want to have the safest flight possible, you better refresh and refine your abilities to compute density altitude and apply that information to the latest, most accurate performance data for your aircraft. The really puzzling part is why he didn’t abort his takeoff attempt after rolling halfway down the runway.

Yet, statistics show that go-arounds are among the riskiest maneuvers in general aviation. These include a runway collision, porpoising, bouncing, or possible overrun. ATC can also ask for a go-around if the landing runway is unsafe or for spacing reasons. It gives you another opportunity to come around and land.
