Question:
How short does a runway have to be in order to be considered a "short field"? I think it's 3,000' but I can't find it on the net.
Answers:
In the POH of the aircraft, it will show you the shortest length needed to take off at certain altitudes and temperatures.
A cessna 172 takes about 1000' fully loaded. It gets significantly shorter with lighter loads and with headwinds.
The POH also gives the distance required to take off and clear a 50ft object.
can things flying without wing?
There is no specific lenght. If you need to make a short field landing then it is short. To a Boeing 747, a 3,000 ft runway is short, but to a Piper Cub, it is a good length of runway.Can anyone help me with this question I had on a JAR engineering test?
Sometimes, general aviation fields are related with the term. I relate it mostly to landing strips.How to become an airplane mechanic?
Private and/or fields that do not have facilities can too be called short-fields.
It is totally up to what you are landing. Look at it this way: It is a short field if it is around 120% (or shorter) of the minimum landing roll for the airplane you are flying.

It is aircraft specific.What is the landing speed of a boeing 747?
GenAv generally less than 2000 feet.
Which material is best suited to build a light weighed aircraft?
Generally all high performance aircraft have minimum field requirements and many adjust their takeoff thrust for a 'balanced field' takeoff, regardless of actual field length.

And please look at the takeoff requirements of your aircraft before landing and add a healthy margin. Someone who is landing a battered 172 on a strip that is 120% of the POH landing roll is going to have a terrible surprise taking off.
A common mistake every one makes. The term Short-field refers not to the distance required to land or take off. the distance the pilot wants to land or take off will determine a short field. example: you flying A C-172 And make a stop At X field. the weathers great but the runway you must land on is ground, not smooth very bumpy. do you land and roll as long as you want. NO you make it a short field landing. another instance you have to take off on a grass runway, but it was raining the last few days the ground is soaked, your plane will take ages for it to reach the take off speed.so you do a short field take off.
So a Short Field depends Not on the plane but the Pilot.

Have to agree with CalNickel he knows what he is talking abouton this for sure. I knew it is less than 2000 feet but I like the rest of his response. Cal seems well informed.

Here is my personal definition of a short field: I think that a field is short when a maximum performance take off is required, together with good pilot technique to get in and out safely in the aircraft you're flying.Many factors contribute- for example aircraft type (use that B747/Cub example), weight, and surface conditions. Also any obstacles that could affect the final approach or climb out must be considered.
A 2000' dirt runway in Africa when it's 40deg Celsius with a loaded C206 is short (prays its downhill) LOL

According to the USAF for all Air Force aircraft a "short Field" is considered to less than 3,000 feet long and less than 600 feet wide. That IAW( 11-2-C-130V3)More Questions & Answers ...
