i lived in bogota until 2020
i agree with bud
my turbo xs on a hard runway skgy 8600msl used less runway than a grass
strip in south florida 04fa. the altitude is compensated by lower
temperature at least in the morning.
landing is rather easier in my view....float is less because the air is
less dense.
i have a turbo 912 and an airmaster. my plane weighs 920lbs.
weight doesnt appear to have much impact.
