Out of curiosity, what’s the minimum runway length you can operate an L39 out of?
I ran the tables with the following:
77' F day, at 1000 MSL airport altitude, takeoff weight 9,274 lbs (just me, and a full main bag of gas, 292 gal's).
Takeoff: I need 2,045 feet ground roll (dry, no wind), and 4,200 to clear a 50' obstacle.
Accel-Stop distance is 4,180 feet.
Landing rollout (after a 1 hour flight at the above conditions): 1,850 feet (dry concrete).
I started with a 5,000' minimum. now I'd probably use a 4k rwy if I needed to. But most places with the gas price I want have a 5,000' runway so it doesn't matter.
