Hey guys!

For all of you in high-performance twins right now or past, is runway length and all of the density altitude variables the main things to consider when heading into more remote airfields? I'm still a ways from getting to this point in my training, but eventually will be faced with this question.

What are the smallest or most remote airfields (private/public) that you've been faced with in high-performance aircraft?

Go Seahawks!

Weather in general (some 'remote' fields may require a 'one way in' and opposite way out approach/landing)... want to make sure you aren't going to have to takeoff with a 15kt tailwind from a short strip. Field conditions if it's your airplane (props are expensive to overhaul). Aircraft weight...low enough to give you performance needed. Engine performance is good (no super-hot oil temps/or low pressures on your way in). If it's really remote... general wind indicators (lakes nearby, smoke, etc)

Some aircraft may be able to land in a short strip...but you should make sure you can take-off over whatever obstacle height (is it 50ft or 75ft,etc)

Figure out your accelerate/stop, etc

Follow POH... (T/O autofeather arm, prop sync off, auto-ignition, etc)
