A Cessna Conquest landing at gross weight over 50 foot trees in no wind
and perfect pilot technique needs 2150 feet.

You are flying for hire a Cessna Conquest. The runway is 3,501 feet
long. The 7 knot winds favor runway 8. You're in perfect position for a
landing on runway 26, with trees over the approach end and a cliff at
the far end. Or you can fly around the pattern and take extra time to
get an upwind landing.

What do you do?

I just watched a Cessna Conquest land downwind. He made it with plenty
of room to spare. My much smaller plane took the upwind.

I'm not going to look it up but I don't think that a Conquest flown for hire
could not use rwy 26 since it does not meet the 135 runway effective length
requirements.
