Short final at 95-100 mph. Have never used more than 2/3 of the runway length. The airport has an generally unrestricted approach. A 5' tall dyke at the approach end prevents putting it "on the numbers". Until I got a constant speed prop, T.O. was more of a concern than landing, esp. at high density altitude. The 235 has only 28 degrees of flap available, and stalls at 60 mph.
