I have flown a 172 real world into Cark (400 metres), final approach
speed 50 knots full flap, with touchdown off the clock - possibly about
38 knots. Stopped in about half the length of the runway. The chap who
was with me, an instructor, demonstrated that, although the POH shows
short field take off to be done without flap, adding 10 degrees and
pulling right back on the stick from brake release had us airborne with
ease in about a three quarters of the runway at about 55 knots. Fly level
to 70 knots and climb away. Exciting stuff! We did three landings there
one afternoon for short field practice. Didn't risk a touch and go,
though!
