THANK YOU!!

I don't fly a Dash 8 but I'm pretty sure they can land and exit the runway in about a third of that.....

Unfactored landing distance is usually between 2500-3000 ft, so its more like a little under half the length.

I like 32 into Boston better...

Runway 21 in hilton head

Ase with 7000' of pavement and just under 8000' elevation.
