Short 12,000 ft runway
I fly a Cessna 150. Our airport has one runway; it's 12,300 feet by
150 feet. The overruns are about 1000 feet on each end. We often have density altitudes of over 1.4 thousand feet. Should I be worried? -Thanks -The Cautious Pilot

Should I be worried? Definitely! 150 ft are somewhat short for a 150 at gross, especially at this DA. 12000 ft width are more than enough, though. Tobias

The good news is that you can do enough touch and goes on one pass to meet the 90 day requirements...

And you could satisfy the Commercial Glider requirement by landing width-wise on that runway!

You're not of of those guys who land a 150 on the numbers and taxi to
the turnoff a mile away, are you? that's 3 minutes at 20 mph (is that too fast to taxi a 150? It's been a long time). I'd have to go around. Twice!
