In Short... See original subject of message. I am trying to collect
information, (not personal feelings) as to whether a private air
strip
is allowed according to federal regulations or common sense if it
known a plane cannot possibly take off with regards to a total of
2600
feet.

That question has been answered several times in this thread.

BTW, what makes you think it is "known a plane cannot possibly take
off"
with a 2600' runway? I do it all the time.


I hope you are good enough to take off on 1000 feet of runway because
I was told there is no reason any pilot cannot take off with that
amount in a plane such as a cessna. You misunderstand the context of
where you read that comment. What was meant was that it takes more
than simply the land you lift off from to include in the total
distance needed to take off.



I'm a yankee and never, ever had the slightest thought that I might be
a redneck but you've definitely got me thinking...
