Default 700 agl / 1 mile finish



Good gracious no! There must be 300 acres of landable terrain within a mile of the MiffCo airport (i.e. most of it) and several thousand within 5.


The 500' / 1 mile finish at MiffCo is about as completely benign as it is possible to achieve. 700 is complete overkill and has awkward complications as previously noted.



By and large, yes. But not always. Download Mifflin traces and watch fun glides through the gap. Mc 0 + 50' through the gap is not for the faint of heart.
