The runway is 2900 feet long and downhill. I turn off the runway at the center taxiway after light-to-medium braking, even when landing downhill, unless I have used more than my normal speed across the threshold. I have landed at Twin Oaks Airpark (7S3) in Oregon several times without using more than half of the 2400 foot runway, again without braking hard. For me, a key element in making the center taxiway seems to be getting the flare just right, so as to avoid float. Carl Lewis N14CL Legacy L2K-203
