Angel Flight Down

A TBM-850 is a very capable turboprop aircraft, and it was being flown by a
very experienced Angel Flight (like, 57 flights) pilot. *Using the
aircraft's POH and the AWOS history, another pilot has determined that the
TBM would've needed something like 4200 feet to get airborne, given the
tailwind. *Unfortunately, Rwy 30 is only 3900 feet long.


Was that takeoff distance calculated from MTOW and air transport
safety margins? Would the plane be near MTOW with those PAX?
