A guy from the Cherokee Pilot's Association calculated DA at 4500. Not
sure where he got the relevant info...maybe there's a local weather
reporting station at someone's house in the area. Higher DA than normal
but no, definitely not HUGE.

I'm always using two notches of flaps in the Arrow when taking off from
3-4K ft. runways, any significant DA, or terrain such as exists at
Cameron Park.

This one will be interesting to follow up with when the NTSB report
comes out.

Sparky Imeson's rule of thumb here is a good reminder. He states that
you should have 71% of your takeoff speed at the halfway point of the
runway or abort the takeoff.
