The B-717 is certified as a 3C aircraft, which means you need 30mts minimum. But then again the B-757 requirement is 45 mts, but they do operate from certain Greek airports that are only 30 mts wide. Going by the ICAO wingspan rules, the Q-400 need 30 mts, but they have an amendment to operate from as low as 18 mts. The Q-400 and the 717 have pretty much the same wing span. Also the Fokker 100 falls into the same category but they have operated from 23 mts wide runway. VMCG should not be much of an issue as the engines are rear mounted. Any way thanks for all the tips.
