I do not think I am a skilled pilot yet, but I am able to slow the C172
down quickly enough to simulate braking pretty hard in an automobile; power
to idle, raise nose slightly, one notch of flaps, at 85 dump remaining
flaps. Knowing that the runway is over 10,000 feet certainly adds comfort
when flying the fast approach.

Same problem with Dulles. Not only is there 11,000+ fee of runway, but
even if you plant 500 feet passed fixed distance marker, you've still got 3000
feet before the first taxiway you can turn off on.
