They didnt consider the potential problems for takeoff before they landed there. They didnt consider options when they realized the takeoff might be difficult. They didnt confirm that the airplanes performance capabilities would allow a safe takeoff, or not. They didnt plan for a point at which to abort the takeoff if acceleration was too slow. The aircraft owner, his teenage son, and a CFI did all drown in the wreckage.

Take your pick, each one defines an end to options: limitation - restriction: a principle that limits the extent of something; limitation - the quality of being limited or restricted; limitation - limit: the greatest amount of something that is possible or allowed; limitation - (law) a time period after which suits cannot be brought; limitation - an act of limiting or restricting (as by regulation)

What do you want your students to do? Will they know what options exist? Is I think we can good enough for you? Where is the performance information a pilot needs in order to be sure? What warnings are there to tell us were at or near a limit?
FAASTeam CFI Workshop #6 Federal Aviation Administration 56

January 1 to March 31, 2010

What do you want your students to do? Make decisions based on knowledge and facts. Will they know what options exist? Give them problems to solve during their training. Is I think we can good enough for you? Give them the opportunity to evaluate conditions. Where is the performance information a pilot needs in order to be sure? Show them the Pilot Operation Handbook and performance charts, insist that they are used. What warnings are there to tell us were at or near a limit?

Weight can be a limitation depending on runway length, temperature, runway condition, and density altitude.
What to do? Less fuel? Maybe, whats the weather doing? Fewer passengers? Could you leave someone behind? Different runway? Perhaps the opposite direction? Wait until the temperature decreases? Can you spare the time it takes to stay alive?

Does the weight of whatever you put into the aircraft remain constant? What happens when you bank for a turn . and maintain your altitude then increase your bank angle to 45 .. 60 degrees ?

Make sure your students know that the tables and calculations available in the Pilots Operating Handbook are based on pressure/density altitude.
The International Standards Association (ISA) has defined a Standard Atmosphere as: Sea Level Barometric Pressure of 29.92 inches of Mercury (in. Hg) Sea Level Temperature of 15 Celsius (15 C or 59 F) Relative humidity of 0 % Standard temperature lapse rate of 2 C per 1000 feet altitude Standard pressure lapse rate of 1 in. Hg per 1000 feet altitude A standard decrease in density as altitude increases

Pressure Altitude adjusts for pressure difference between your air and standard atmosphere. The question is What would your altimeter read if you were in a standard atmosphere at your current actual altitude? This altitude is called PRESSURE ALTITUDE.
Density Altitude uses Pressure Altitude as a basis, and adds in a correction factor for nonstandard temperature.
