Piedmont short runway
 

I used to fly a dash and knew it can stop quickly but never flew the -200 and -300.

In Boston yesterday I believe it was a -200 flew the ILS 27 transition to 33R. 33R is only 2557' long and it got me thinking..what is the shortest you can accept? I can't imagine finding a much shorter runway than that out in the system.

Would have been a 100, no 200's left. BOS and HHH are the shortest we do.

Holy crap that is short! I guess the Navy has their new C-2 replacement! How are your trap skills?

Hey we land the C-17 in 3500 no problem all the time! And it's empty weight is 288K add some fuel and cargo and you're at 400K landing on a 3500ft runway...but really we only use like 2000 for landing and 1500-2000 for takeoff. In fact in Iraq we would often be off the ground at 370K in 1500ft.

What were the winds?

It was cool to see. I know I could stop the dash and my current plane on that runway in an emergency but we wouldn't have the opspecs or data to even legally attempt it. The -400 had awesome brakes but even that I don't recall us doing under 4000'.

It was funny, the female on the radio had a strong accent and kept saying 34R, after correcting her 3 times the controller gave up.

Gusty. Probably around the 300° mark in the 15-20 gusting 25 or so.

Landing in 2500ft is easy.

Flaps 35 you can stop that baby in less the 1000' at max landing weight.

we used to use 33r all the time back at alg, pdt doesn't do it though *shrug*
