In Grass Valley, it was 94 dF at that time, and Cameron Park is about 1700 feet lower. Presuming a standard lapse rate of 3.5 dF per thousand feet, the temperature at Cameron was about 100 dF. Probably a bit cooler because we get the winds through the hills that cool things down. The aircraft appeared to be an A36. The performance charts for a density altitude of 4100 feet showed that the aircraft should have required about 2100 feet of runway roll with a 5 knot tailwind and a climb thereafter of 1000 fpm. So the runway was only twice what the airplane needed. Holy Cow, we should close the airport today!!! Cameron Park is a bitchkitty coming in or departing on either end. Never noticed that and I've been flying in and out of there for 7 years. What part about it is a "bitchkitty"??? -Robert |
