Are you experienced and current in high performance single engine piston aircraft now or are you transitioning from an MD 80? I do not recommend any new LIVP pilot to start with less than 5000' x 100' DRY (at sea level/ standard day) runway with clear approaches and a VASI/ PAPI visual glide slope indicator system. A 3000' dry is my absolute minimum after spending a long time building up to it. I do not recommend anyone start with that. But that is only on a good day with everything going in my favor. When you get your aircraft flying practice to see how much runway you need to get it stopped comfortably and the double that number for those occasional bad days. Call if you have any questions 636-532-5638. Best Regards, Jeff Edwards MCFI
