Cool

Sorry guys - I have to disagree with those who reckon you could not get a 737 into Oxford:

R/W 20 & 02 LDA = 1200 m

e.g.

a 737 - 3/4/500 at a landing weight of 37 tonnes (equal to an empty aircraft + sufficent fuel for a short sector)

using Flap 40 / Vref 111 kt / max autobrake will have a landing distance of 840 m. even with just idle reverse deployed to keep the neighbours happy.

If you were very brave, you could even opt for just autobrake 3 which would increase the Landing Distance required to 1130 m. but still within limits for Oxford.
