“A few seconds later the airplane data showed a maneuver consistent with an aileron roll followed by a rapid descent about 1,000 feet before regaining its prior altitude and track above the highway.” I did my first aileron roll in an RV-4. These were divided into two main categories, prior maneuvering and weather upset.

Weather, field conditions, obstacles, and many other elements greatly affect short field operations. Your aircraft will fly at a faster true airspeed at higher density altitudes. Use the rudder to keep the aircraft in line with the runway and apply aileron into the wind.
