TOUGH MAN CHALLENGE #  7

Short Runway Take Off and Landings

 

This T M C  is  for small  aircraft using short runways (use a chopper if you want to).  If your plane can’t handle a 300' runway then get one that will.  The longest runway you will see is 900' with the shortest runway at 300'.   These 19 flights take place in Alaska, Texas, Oregon, Washington, Montana & Louisiana, USA and Albania The longest length in miles is 76.  The shortest length in miles will be 5 mi.    Weather will be at your option.  A slight cross wind will make it more difficult after all this is suppose to be a T M C.  When you complete a flight, come to a complete stop then reverse the flight.  NO, NO  doing a Touch-N-Go.  This way you will take off and land on all these short r/w’s.  To further help, I think you might need  to reduce your fuel load to something like carrying only 20%.  It enables you to lift off a lot sooner due to the weight reduction. You might even want to put in a slight head wind.    LIFT is the name of the game.
