Well, having flown them for 34 years I’ve a reasonable idea, thanks.

KARFA My apologies, TORA should have read TODA (Take off run available + Clearway) However the definition and requirements remain the same. Although you may feel uncomfortable with the possibility of a minimum vertical distance of only 35 feet that is in fact the legal requirement as set out by...
