The next question is what are you trying to fly off of this runway? Jets or just prop planes , do you plan to hold a jet rally on it?

400 ft. long , not long enough if you want to hold a jet meet there. Jets need more length to land because of their higher landing speeds. 800 ft should be the min. if you are planning to hold a jet rally on it. I use to fly off of 400 ft run ways and did not like it for landing not enough room to land good all the time!!!!!!

35 to 50 ft. wide would be nice for the larger jets to make a landing on and to handle crosswind landings without running off the runway into the grass and tearing up expensive landing gears and gear doors off.

Also a start up area is needed if you are going to support jets at the field.

The TORKS club in Columbus Ohio has a nice field and start up area to check out , also Winamac In. has a nice one too.
