what's the shortest runway you.....

[Say Again Over]

I saw Mike Mullins land a Helio Stallion in the width of the runway in West Memphis (STRONG CROSSWIND), very impressive.

 

[SIG600]

The distance prescribed by the aircraft flight manual under those specific conditions, taking into account ambient local issues such as crosswind, terrain, obstacles, and of course, recency of experience in type, etc.

What does your AFM say?

Man you just don't know how to have fun do you? I've gotten an F-18 airborne in 200'... I promise the book says it needs more than that.

Was this a Carrier takeoff? Strong headwind? Come on, tell the whole story.

Have my students land on a 1600 ft soft field strip with obstacles on either end. C-172M : 150hp but 40 degrees of flaps = wooot! Ironically it was my manager who almost killed us trying to take off in a crap warrior, not someone with 7 hrs... (K2B1)

With a good headwind you don't need a thousand feet, in or out.

That is a photo taken by yours truly less than a month ago. What you dont see is the collar that is snapped. Someone blatantly disregarded the thick red limit lines.

Just thought I'd clarify before some hot shot bone head tosses his POH out the window and says "if SIG600 can do it, so can I."

Catapults are cool, we could use some civilian applications of those.

Nothing impressive here, but a cool airport.
