I think that means its enforced by the alligators, not the management.
700m is not short…even if they do have alligators…

US runways are usually much longer so some local pilots are not used to short fields like in Europe where many aeroclub runways are short. The ferry pilot who did fly our plane over the atlantic had plenty experience with 4 digit hours but he did land 10kt faster than I do with the resulting flare.

Yep, exactly. The shortest rwy round here in SoCal is Santa Paula at 2665ft, everything else is > 3000ft, so most US pilots aren’t used to fly into ‘short’ fields which are perfectly normal in Europe. Different world….

Different world indeed. The runway on my homebase ist 1.575 ft – enough for our club’s F33A Bonanza…
