Jeez Chimbu . . . that's incredible!

Can you kindly 'talk' us through how you land and take-off from a strip like that. Clearly keeping it EXACTLY in the middle is vital, but where do you plan to touch down and (given the bend in the strip) where is the nose pointing?

And how do you take-off? Full power with brakes and then 'release'? Is there a 'rejected take-off' decision point? What are the considerations before operating from strips like that.

Any insights would be interesting as I just cannot imagine operating out of strips like that.

Many thanks
