Use 55 mph IAS, full flaps and a little power. This results in a slight

non paved strips you can lock the brakes. Total runway used is 450 feet.


This sounds like a glassy water landing. I've never have expected it to
yield a shorter landing distance than an unpowered landing using the same
short-field speed (65 kts in my POH, I believe). Interesting.

[Obviously, I need to go try this. Ah, another excuse to play grin.]
