Short 12,000 ft runway

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...

You might get spoiled by that 2 1/2 mile runway. Better plan fly to
another airport with a short runway once in a while for practice.

Boy that runway sure is short, but look how wide it is!!!

Hard to read the numbers when they are so wide...

And by the time the 150 gets to the other end, you could satisfy your night
currency too.

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

You're not of of those guys who land a 150 on the numbers and taxi to
the turnoff a mile away, are you? that's 3 minutes at 20 mph (is that
too fast to taxi a 150? It's been a long time). I'd have to go around.
Twice!
