Here you're on the ramp at Glenwood Springs, Colorado (KGWS). The field elevation is just shy of 6,000 feet, and the runway is a mere 3,300 feet long. The winds are calm, so you can take off using either runway. Runway 14 has some trees right off the end, and Runway 32 sends you flying up a canyon in which you'll need to turn around.
Pick your poison, and give it a go. Don't forget to lean for peak power. You'll need it. Even so, we expect you'll see a view something like Figure 21-17. This is not the view you want at rotation speed. Planning for short-field takeoffs is a must, and you should know how late you can abort and still stop when it's clear you won't make it.
