Kevin M.,
That's right. Short field with a long TO roll would be trouble as would low rate of climb and nearby obstacles. During my 200 fpm climb I recounted I was staring at nothing but hills and trees for a while. I was struggling to gain altitude and speed so I didn't want to turn too soon. I started about a 20 degree turn at about 400' agl maintaining about 65 kias and it worked out OK. In retrospect though I probably had plenty of room to get up to 800' agl before I turned. But those hillsides looked pretty imposing at the time.
Kevin webmaster,
When you say "post '73" is that inclusive of '73 or truely post '73 only?
