Now, what about my request for LANDING PERFORMANCE data.
HELP is URGENTLY required to give me general performance data for landing on
runways up to 4000 feet PA up to 45 degrees Celsius.
My hangar is built on an airfield 1650 feet elevation, sealed runway 710
metres ((2329.39 feet) long, and I wanna know what you highly experienced
Lancair 320 drivers can tell me about landing performance.
Otherwise I will install a CFM56 - on each wing!

What is a CFM56?
I went into a 2,200 ft(30 ft altitude) strip once and will probably do it again. I would not like to land there on a regular basis without short field training in the LNC2. This airport was in Saluda, VA(W75). The airport had a great approach with no trees at all for at least 1/4 of a mile.
I based my plane at Plymouth, MI(1D2) for 3 months, in order to try out their 2,500 ft runway at 700 ft altitude. I felt that it was unsafe. If I had lost the brakes, I would have ended up on a pretty busy road that was just 50 ft off the end of the runway.
My current airport is Oakland SW, MI(Y47). The runway is 3,100 ft(930 ft altitude). With 50 ft trees surrounding the runway, I consider it marginal for landing. I have taken off at 1,930 lb. at 75 degrees Fahrenheit.
I have been on the waiting list for the Pontiac, MI(KPTK) airport for 8 years. They tell me that I should get a hanger in about another 15 years. We are pretty crowded here in the Detroit area.
If you are at 4,000 ft with a 45 degree Celsius temperature, your density altitude will be about 8,000 ft. At landing speeds the differential in your IAS and TAS will be about 12 kts. It will therefore take a little longer to land and takeoff. Don't forget of lean.
The LNC2 will get out of anything that it can get into. How clear your approach is and whether or not you have a safe overrun if something goes wrong (and it will) need to be considered.
