What I learned is that excess energy is better dissipated in the
air. With a 10 knot headwind component) we could have landed and
taken off on the 2400 foot runway (we back taxied, but the numbers
worked out).

BUT -- 70 KIAS is not a power -off landing speed. There's
insufficient energy to flare, so a bit of power is required to
arrest the descent.

Been a while since I've flown a 182 but that doesn't sound right.

182?


Sorry, thought we were talking 182 210
