There is chance we can get a new flying field and the land owner is open to having it paved. I am getting quotes for pavement tomorrow, but would like to get some input.

The field will be located on a 540 acre cow hearding area with about 40 acres provided for pitting, runway and parking.

Based on fields that have done this, what is the ideal width and runway for a jet friendly field? I was thinking 75 x 900 ft (but that may be too costly)

Other options were: 50 x 800, 40 x 700

Our current field is grass and is 75x800 works fairly well for landings, but can be an issue for small EDF/Jets on take off.

Also what is the best material to use? Concrete or asphalt? how think? 2 inches?

Thanks
