I've got a guy who wants me to ride along with him on a trip in a seneca. One of our stops is a 2800 ft strip. Will be hot (90) and reasonable heavy (5 pass. and bags). Elevation around 1000ft. Can anyone with a seneca II poh on hand run me the takeoff performance numbers for this situation and acc/stop distance. There is no pressure for me to be on this trip so if its tight I'm not going. Thanks.
 
From an old POH for a stock II:
0 flaps normal t/o procedures, assume max gross of 4570:
Acc/stop: 3050
Ground roll 1350
T/O dist. 1700 (I assume tha's over 50ft obstacle, the charts aren't clear on that).
Notes I have for an old one I flew years ago show useful load 1503. With 5 pax and bags, hopefully you don't need much fuel. And, ZeroFuel wgt of 4168, from an empty wgt of 3067 only leaves 1101# for loading.
Sounds pretty tight, good luck!
