The United States Army Aviation Engineering Flight Activity conducted takeoff performance tests on an OV-1C aircraft, serial number 67-18918, from 11 April through 19 July 1978. The aircraft was tested at Edwards Air Force Base (field elevation 2273 feet) and South Lake Tahoe, California (field elevation 6262 feet). Twelve flights totaling 6.9 productive flight hours were conducted. Takeoff performance tests were conducted on the OV-1C to substantiate the performance data currently incorporated in the operator's manual. Tests were conducted using two normal takeoff techniques and a minimum run takeoff technique at each of three gross weights. All takeoffs were made from hard, dry, paved level runways. Test results show that the estimated data for normal takeoff is satisfactory but the data for the minimum run technique in the operator's manual is optimistic. (Author)
