Short field operation

Hi Guys,

In my experience, most aircraft need more runway to take off than to land.

So in considering a visit to any small field, the question should also include consideration of, 'if I can indeed get in, shall I be able to get out of there afterwards'? (This of course having regard to wind vector, gradient, runway surface type and contamination and pilot experience).

BP.
