Hey WHBM, would be interested to hear your thoughts on a 319 operating fairly regularly - well two or three times in the last week - out of a 5500ft runway. Not trying to be funny or anything, but wasn't what I expected inbound at times, and was a little concerned. Not highly loaded, maybe 29 POB at most, and seemed to get airborne on departure after maybe 4000ft. Just interested in performance etc.....
