I haven't flown into YKAT for a year now but it wasn't a problem. A little bumpy comming in (fm light windshear), keep an eye on the power lines and the richmond control area and you shouldn't have problem. I don't see how a STOL is a requirement as I pulled up in a partnavia no worries. The only down side was that I was running late so I couldn't get that cuppa that was offered when I phoned to heck the conditions of the strip.

From memory there is a bit of a slope on the strip as well (humped in the middle). Helps with the braking!

Makes me want to go back and have another go!
