Runway Length?

Anyone know the approx runway length needed for sensible operation of Fokker 50 and RJ-100. By sensible i mean to take into account fully laden , wet runway etc.

It cannot be simplified like that.
Some runways are grooved, they are considered damp, even when wet.
Others have climb limitations and thus the length is not the only factor.
For commercial ops of both types you need to have individual performance calculations considering OAT, wind, RWY status and environment restrictions.
Below 1500m it is often a sharp pencil math... ask Flygprestanda.

4000-5000ft for the F50 maybe a tad more for the F100 as a rough ballpark
