Video tip: How to takeoff and land from a short runway
Most of your flight training has likely occurred on a long paved runway as you continue improving your normal takeoff and landing skills. The runway length is likely two or three times longer than the performance charts require, providing plenty of extra margin as you build experience.
The next skill you’ll learn is how to achieve the maximum performance from the airplane by operating from shorter runways to achieve the short-field takeoff and landing distances published in your airplane’s performance charts.
