Like I said before, take the distance you can get the aircraft stopped in (from a 50' height) and then double that and that is your landing distance requirement. 50% of all GA accidnts are takeoff and landing accidents. Being too optimistic on landing distance required is not a good thing. Regards, Jeff Edwards LIVP N619SJ
