The process is a rolling start, inside tank selected, flaps up,
throttle friction high, using the full width of the runway, full power
at 45 deg to rny heading. You will get a quick look at the pulsar
lights on the turn. Flaps are popped down (25 deg) at 40 Knts
indicated, count "1 thousand, 2 thousand ", and the yoke is pulled
back all the way. (note the stabilator deflection at rotation)

The runway marker under the plane at rotation is the 500 ft marker,
Cory is at the 600 ft point with the camera, and you can see we have
at least 50 ft obs clearance height at the 600 ft mark.

I was alone (160lbs), 70 lbs in baggage compartment, tanks a little
less than 1/2, OAT 13C, wind reported 2 knts at 110 on rny heading of
090 (essentially wind calm)

Plane - CG-DQT 1976 Piper Warrior, PA-28-151

Very impressive. Normal takeoff distance over a 50' obstacle is
~1,600' or so.

Can you demonstrate a similar landing over a 50' obstacle?
