Runway 12/30 at RPME is 6,450ft / 1,966m.

- thanks - I took mine from Google's 'airport info' so I guess it has been extended. That would explain the '1.2km' as that is almost exactly 1.2 St Miles.

Spin doctors, truly world class! It was a perfectly good aircraft, just a perfectly lousy approach that ended it all.
