Can a Cessna 172 land in 300ft?

[/ QUOTE ]

WTFO???? Are you out of your mind? That would be pretty tough. Maybe you misread the diminesions:

RW diagram and 18/36 is 8000 x 200 and 11/29 is 7500 x 300

or I am completely missing what you are seeing? Do I have to break out that dreaded Two letter response for you? [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

[/ QUOTE ]no no no.. i'm pretty sure Brian misunderstood the dimensions...which is why he asked if a plane could land on a 300ft runway..

remember length is before width.. so the runways are 8000ft LONG x 200ft WIDE..and 7500ft LONG x 300ft WIDE... always Length then width!!

ok?!

with those dimensions, a cessna 172 can land on a 7500 ft LONG runway...
