Why make life so uncomfortable by trying to land on the threshold (of any runway)? There's 600 metres, the first bit uphill. So why land and stop in 150 metres and have 450 left.
Slightly off topic, but I always aim to land on the numbers. A) you get plenty of practice of placing the aeroplane where you want to land, and B) if you have to land in a short field, then you won't go through the far hedge........

I wonder if the PA-32 that recently crashed at St Marys was planning to land into the runway a little bit??
Back on subject, been there a few times and agree, plenty of room for a C182. Nice walk into town and back home for tea..
