Its interesting though - While most pilot's I talk too (including my
instructor) swear by this technique, I haven't seen much 'formal'
mention of it in the literature... It strikes me as being a cross
between a traditional and 'soft-field' takeoff. The FAA pilot's manual
warns that "premature rotation" can lead to settling back down on the
runway, and suggests a 'proper' takeoff is simply to set the Aircraft
in Vy attitude initially and let it fly off the runway, but my
instructor has warned me against becoming dependent on that technique,
especially if I ever hope to fly out of high DA airports...


My high density technique is to accelerate with nose wheel on the ground to
my desired final climb speed. Wheels create less drag than wings. If the
end of the runway is met before the airspeed is met, take off anyway.

I guess this is one of those areas where I'm still actively learning a
great deal.

To learn something that is basically incorrect presents TWO problems.
If
this is the first way you learned to perform it will be your first
selection
of options when under stress.

Secondly, the greatest single quality of knowing something that has
fundamental faults is that
unlearning such a fault is the most difficult part of you knowledge to
remove.

Learning to do something correctly FIRST is the most important part of
all
performance.
Think on it,

I'm sure that pushing the stick forward works well. If there were no
way to keep a Baron on the ground at 100 kts, then no Baron could ever
crash at a speed of more than 100 kts, since its intense desire to fly
would keep it from contacting the ground.
