@Silvaire1:

Oh, I've been there, on the rim, and also few hours down the Kaibab trail as well (this one was much better than standing with the crowd), I just wonder if 4 year old will actually appreciate that particular view enough now. Maybe I should just go back in 2-3 years and hike one of the trails with her.
But I'll see when I'm there, how easy is to get there.

@172driver:

I do not think that Tecnam is such a bad performer.
The performance charts from POH show that for PA 8000ft and OAT 25'C ground roll should be 710m, and 50ft obstacle 934m, for grass runway, so less for paved.
This x 115% equals 1074m. Flagstaff is more than twice that, so is KGCN.
Those are two most challenging from the DA perspective. The only one that is short is L06 at Death Valley - it is hot, but low elevations.
So correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the airports that I've chosen are pretty much on the safe side, performance wise.
