1957 C-172 Runway advise

[skyhawk4754]

I have a 1957 C-172 O-300 c . I'm thinking of putting a grass strip on my farm. I live in SW Minnesota. Looking for advise on how wide and how long should I make it. Full load summer day.

Would appreciate any good advise.

Thanks

Hi, i hope you can use the file you can download here:

ftp://ftp.dot.state.tx.us/pub/txdot-..._airstrips.pdf

Just measure your best landing you do on grass, and at least double it ! (triple would be better)

Good luck and keep me posted!!
