pilot with two passengers on board landed on a 2,100 foot east-west gravel strip having an elevation of 1,800 feet. The temperature is warmer than expected and after computing the density altitude, the pilot determined the takeoff distance over a 50 foot obstacle to be 1,980 feet. The airplane is 75 pounds under gross weight. What would be the best choice?


A) Go for the flight as there is a leeway of 120 feet for takeoff
B) Have the pilot take off by himself and see how the takeoff performance was without the weight of the passengers.
C) Call the tower and see if anyone else has reported climb-out performance problems
D) Postpone the flight and wait for cooler temperatures to recalculate takeoff performance
