The MIN length of the landing area is 2100 ft. (not 1000). The appraoch from the north (which was the one in use for accident) has no obstructions. The cause is reported to be engine malfunction and the aircraft did not make it to the landing surface. Tom Hall > There is an uncharted 1,000 ft airport on an island near downtown > Knoxville. About a year ago a fellow from down there ask about buying a > Lancair 320 and keeping it at that airport. I and several other list > members recommended against using an airport that short for a Lancair.
