Charles Talleyrand trolled us with this gem: I fly a Cessna 150. Our airport has one runway; it's 12,300 feet by 150 feet. The overruns are about 1000 feet on each end. We often have density altitudes of over 1.4 thousand feet. Should I be worried? Definitely! 150 ft are somewhat short for a 150 at gross, especially at this DA. 12000 ft width are more than enough, though. The good news is that you can do enough touch and goes on one pass to meet the 90 day requirements...

And you could satisfy the Commercial Glider requirement by landing width-wise on that runway!
