Hi pilots,

Just trying to get a real world idea of landing/take off distances required for a 601 XL at sea level. ZAC states 500ft with a Jab engine, but is this really conservative? Come on you bush pilots, can a landing/take off really be done safely in a shorter distance?

Darryl.

I wouldn't call 500 feet conservative for a 601XL. At gross weight and  

no wind with standard sea level conditions, I'd call 500 feet of  

runway the bare minimum. Under more favorable conditions, you can  

probably get by with less. I would prefer to have at least 1000 feet  

to work with, I doubt if I've ever used more than 1500.

I consider 1000 feet the minimum possible, and that's with maximum effort.

Anything under that is gravy. This goes double at max gross. It doesn't love

runways as much as, say, a Mooney, but do NOT underestimate the distance

required.
