Fly a 1946 BC12-D Taylorcraft. No wind, no slope takeoff and landing is
about 300-400 feet. Stall speed about 35 mph. 10 knot tailwind uphill
estimated landing is 500 ft. Downhill landing 10 knot headwind over
obstacles uses estimated 1000 to 1200 ft of runway. I only takeoff
downhill. Unless you have experience with a slope you will underestimated
the effect of the slope.

On long paved runways, I always land into the wind.

I have an 1800 ft grass strip that has a 3% grade. There is a 50 to 75 ft
obstruction off the high end of the runway and no obstructions off the end
of the low end of the runway. Slope and obstruction is more important
than wind. I will not land downwing unless the headwind exceeds 15 knots.
The deceleration uphill and acceleration downhill is more significant than
the usual winds. Below 200 ft on approach, you have to be committed to
land. Unless you have a very high power to weight you cannot do a go
around.

You get the big brass ones award. I don't have the stomach for a strip
where I have to commit so early.

In a no wind situation, what is your uphill landing roll on your strip
versus a level strip?

Same question for your downhill takeoff roll.

And, what do you fly?

Thanks for the info..
