Making The Numbers

The Performance that we Expect from our Aircraft may be very Different from What the Aircraft can give us. Consider a Short Field Takeoff or Landing. On a specific Time and Day, do you really know what the total distance required is from initial start of takeoff roll is to clear that 50 foot tall Oak tree? What about on a wet turf runway compared to a paved runway? How about landing over that same Oak Tree that is located within 500 feet of the landing end of the runway? With the usable fuel onboard, will you make the desired 500 NM trip without a fuel stop? What about the Winds Aloft, how will they affect your fuel consumption? We, as PIC, must be able to calculate all of these Numbers and Be Able to Fly to "Make the Numbers".
