REFLECTOR:Help me buy a house...on an airport

[jack davis]

It also is dependent upon the type of prop you are running.  Prior to my MT,
I would not attempt a takeoff or landing on anything less than 3500 feet if
I had more than myself on board.  With the MT, I can routinely get off in a
very short distance even when heavily loaded.  With an MT, I have no
problems getting into and out of a 2500 foot strip.  The word of advice
previously given though, is true; be extra vigilant and make sure you are
not floating down the runway, unnecessarily using up a lot of runway.
