Thanks for the requirements Whoops

Here is part of the common sense -from CAP 793

2 Aerodromes (Including Helicopter Sites) to be Used for Flying Training
2.1 Clearly when student pilots are receiving ab initio instruction towards the grant of a
licence, it would be inadvisable to expect them to be able to operate from short strips
or confined area sites that would challenge experienced pilots.

Plus
Light Aeroplane
(<2730 kg MTOM)
The greater length of 1.25 x
Take-Off Distance Required or
1.43 x Landing Distance Required,

And there is more-from CAA Safety Sense Leaflet no 7
(Note this information is aimed at experinced pilots)

8 SAFETY FACTORS

a) Take-off
It is strongly recommended that the appropriate Public Transport factor, or one that at least meets that requirement, should be applied for all flights. For take-off this factor is x 1.33 and applies to all single-engined aeroplanes and to multi-engined aeroplanes with limited performance scheduling (Group E).

c) Landing
It is recommended that the Public Transport factor should be applied for all flights. For landing, you should multiply your calculated landing distance required by a factor of 1.43.

Beware of those who quote or operate to 'minium requirements' as they can only be the starting point for a good safe professional operation!
