Captain Will restrictions specify that all takeoffs and landings must occur on runways that are shorter than how many feet?

• A. 4,500 feet
• B. 5,000 feet
• C. 6,000 feet
• D. 3,500 feet

Answer: (A)

The restriction uses a ceiling on runway length for takeoffs and landings. All operations must occur on runways shorter than 4,500 feet, so the limit is 4,500 feet. This means a runway of 4,499 feet would be acceptable, while a runway of 4,500 feet or longer would not meet the rule. Such a limit reflects operating in a performance-constrained envelope, highlighting how runway length impacts takeoff and landing performance. The other numbers would change the ceiling—permitting longer runways if higher thresholds were used (5,000 or 6,000) or requiring an even shorter runway (3,500)—which is not what the restriction specifies.
