I've been airborne in a DHC-2T on skis in anywhere from 200 feet (light) to maybe 1200 feet (loaded), depending on the wind of course. One trick if you're in a tight spot is to pull the skis up, add some power and lift the tail up, then put the skis down and off you go. Fun machine with LOTS of power.

I fly a C206 on skis for years now. Can't compare to a taildragger beaver, but I always thought a Turbo Beaver would get off faster than the 206.. but, I think even fully loaded I could have out performed that takeoff with the 206.

I fly a DHC-2T on skis in the winter in the arctic, and trust me, if you took that long to take off in the tundra you would have no tail wheel left and possible damage to the main skis. The key is lots of power really quick and pushing forward when you start moving to get the tail off the ground. This will create the least amount of drag so you can accelerate, as once the tail is off the ground you need little to no forward pressure soon after. VR should be closer to 60.

Neither dragging the tail nor taking too much time to reach the typical 85 - 97 VR safe knots. Ski-skids affect significant drag in the face of variable snow/ice/crud surface. You do not plane remotely as much as you normally do on water where you typically range from ) to -3 degrees, to a greater extent 0 to -1 degrees on dry land when you come up to V1 - critically VR. Landing on snow is very serious business and not for the lighthearted. This launch was just fine.

Look what the MNR may do to a small town!:

Looked like he was dragging the tail; should be lifting it up within a few seconds.

Took up alot of room to take off.

Yeah, I noticed that. Was wondering why.

Probably a full plane and taking off on skis would have an effect.
CANADIANYETI 4 years ago
No, it wasn't full. There was just the pilot, two guys and a dog on board and I'm sure no more than 150lbs cargo.
