Europa-List: Minimum Practical Field Length

[C Richardson <cjh.richardson@virgin.net>]

I happily operate my Tri-gear - 912S - from 500 metres ( 1640 ft ) hedge 
to hedge. No obstacles beyond the hedges.
The strip is  945 feet high.
The only situation which might be critical is the abandoned take-off but 
I have the luxury of being able to turn either way on the ground, at the 
end of the deceleration,  because the strip is in a 150 metre wide 
field.
For a straight strip with no turns possible I would say 2,000 ft ( 610 
mtrs ) would be safe.
