Most piston engined aircraft will need about 1100 meters for takeoff in central Australia in the summer
???

At gross TOW, SL, nil wind and 40oC, I figure the V35B for a ground roll of 370M and 700M over a 50' obstacle - and Bonzas are not in any hurry to get off the ground!

Most places it will go in and out of 600 M pretty comfortably. I would not hesitate to take it into 1000 M.
