Maybe this has treated before, my apologies if so!
We are a group of friends restoring an AS2 here in Spain, we do not have that many choices of airfields here were we live. We would like to keep the plane in the place where we are working. Our runway is natural soil (grass in winter hard soil in summer) 480x45 meters.
That makes 1580x150 in feet.
The plane will have a 180hp lycoming and a metal fixed sensenich, we would like to finish it as light as possible.
Do you think we could use this strip? It has little slope, the up slope threshold is absolutely clear and the downslope has a building not so close but a bit distracting when approaching. Actually with few wind we take off in one direction and land in the other, if windy it is not necessary because ground run is naturally shortened.
All inputs will be welcome!
