Beaver Municipal (Q44). Beaver, OK.
Elevation: 2,491 Feet
Temperature: 32.1C/89.8F
Pressure Altitude: 2,500 Feet
Density Altitude: 4,997 Feet
The following conditions are the basis for data:
1) Flaps - - 10 DEGREES
2) Throttle - - FULL PRIOR TO BRAKE RELEASE
3) Runway - - PAVED, LEVEL, & DRY
4) Field ELEV > 3,000 Feet - - MIXTURE LEANED (see POH)
5) Wind - - ZERO

Starting at zero, you used 1,038 feet to achieve liftoff velocity. After liftoff you displaced an additional distance of 481 feet (total distance 1,519 feet) to acquire 73 feet AGL. This represents an average 485 ft/min climb rate. Mile-high performance means a higher true airspeed for the prescribed pitch attitude climb speed. During climb, you are actually accelerating. The "enroute climb" charts (ISA, ISA+10C, & ISA +20C) will reveal more details regarding true airspeed as we progressively analyze the effects of high density altitude.

I used Amazon.com to purchase & donate this book to the James & Marilyn Lovell Center for Environmental Geography & Hazards Research at Texas State University in San Marcos.
Pilot-in-Command Lovell, Service Module Pilot Swigert & Lunar Module Pilot Haise still hold the world record for "distance" away from earth to achieve lunar gravitational "slingshot" effect to "lifeboat" back to earth via their Grumman Lunar Module. Yes, "distance" is also a theme of my book!
James & Marilyn Center.
As a matter of record, James Lovell was the designated pilot of Gemini 7 & Apollo 8 & designated Mission Commander of Apollo 13. Captain Lovell's ongoing contributions to Aviation Safety & the Earth Sciences as well as to ongoing research at Texas State University are worthy of tax-deductable donations.
My point? The Cessna 152 is an aerospace vehicle which displaces over human geography (human activity as well as naturally occurring physical phenomena).
