Default RE: Minimum Paved Runway Width for Jets?

It all depends on what you are used to. Our field is about 40x500 and the jets land consistently on about 350 to 450 ft. All types, from DF to big F-4 and F-16. We are used to touch down on the first 50 to 100 ft of the runway. When we go to longer fields we are in heaven. Obviously if the field is shorter you have to concentrate more in having a good aproach and if not abort and try again.
