I hope you are good enough to take off on 1000 feet of runway...

Much less than that, typically.

...I was told there is no reason any pilot cannot take off with that
amount in a plane such as a cessna. You misunderstand the context of
where you read that comment.

Really? Let's review the post I quoted:

In Short... See original subject of message. I am trying to collect
information, (not personal feelings) as to whether a private air strip
is allowed according to federal regulations or common sense if it
known a plane cannot possibly take off with regards to a total of 2600
feet.

Most light GA planes can easily takeoff in much less than 2600ft. What you
said and what you meant to say may not have been the same thing, but I
quoted correctly.

What was meant was that it takes more
than simply the land you lift off from to include in the total
distance needed to take off.

Gee. I hadn't thought of that. I guess that whole category in the
performance section of my plane's POH has something to do with how much
distance it takes to achieve a certain altitude then, huh?

Why don't you take your trolling someplace else? We've tried to be nice and
answer your questions politely.
