Thanks for the input
I've been doing a little research of my own, including reading the infamous Oban thread (
) and I'm glad to have most of the above on my short-list.
The advice on performance calcs is carefully noted and had already channelled my thinking away from runways of less than about 700 metres, but I've yet to do any formal cals of my own.
Does anyone have any views on the more outlying islands? I'm not too keen about the distances over water, especially 4-up which would probably preclude the carrying of a life-raft due to the extra weight.
