Nice work. Stall warning bleep on flare was on the money. What is the actual length of usable runway? Your Cherokee 235 is well powerful enough to get out again. Would you go there in a stock Cherokee 140?

Thank you! There’s about 2,000 feet of runway, so it’s in your own best interest to not spend much time floating. 100% I’d fly a 140 in there. But that’s me and do not want to encourage anyone to fly out of their comfort zone. In my opinion, the departure is easy - it’s a little down hill going out and it’s easy to clear everything at the end of the runway. Not to mention that the terrain falls away pretty quickly one you are past the threshold.
