Plenty of room for a PA28 (I've done it several times)
That's a bit too much of a sweeping generalisation for my liking. How many different variants of PA28 are there? From a 140 to a 235, that I can think of, then there's slab-wing or warrior-wing and is it shiny & new or half a century old & clapped out. That's before we even start to think about different weather conditions (air density and wind velocity), runway surface, aircraft weight & balance and pilot currency & experience. Just because one pilot has been in and out a few times in their aircraft, does not mean another person in a different aeroplane can safely repeat the achievement.
RAY, you must do your own performance calculations, for the particular aircraft you will be flying, allowing for the prevailing conditions at the time. Apply the appropriate safety factors and make allowance for your own ability, currency and experience. Read the CAA Safety Sense Leaflets number 7 and 12, available in the back of LASORS
