FAR 121 Landing legality?
I'm in a battle with my POI regarding the length of the runway required (if any) for landing.
There is no question that for takeoff, you must have "Landing Field Length", including the full 40% buffer. FAR 121.195 states that no person may "takeoff" without that.
Once you are airborne, I contend that requirement is behind you, and all you need is enough concrete to get the a/c stopped on the runway.
He holds that the "Landing Field Length" is required for landing.
I feel he's incorrect in his interpretation of that being an in-flight requirement.
Can anyone point me to a reference, or General Counsel's opinion that would support either point of view?
What's your airline's position on this subject?
