You need an 800 foot run to get off the ground. It says you need an 800 foot ground roll to land, but I've never been able to do that, more like 1500 feet. This plane has such a "clean" design that it does not like to slow down, and I've discovered that its much easier to just come in fast, keep it in ground effect and float down the runway until the plane slows enough to settle in for a perfect landing.
If you tell me your location I can tell you every airport within 100 miles and how long thier runways are. Most airports that i've been to have at least 3500 foot runways, but thats not always the case.
