    I don’t know for sure, but the following note is listed in the AFD: “P–line 800´ from thld Rwy 36 end mkd with red balls.”, the TCH is only 32 feet, and the runway is only rated for 12,500 pounds maximum, single wheel main gear only. So it would be a challenge to land a category C or D aircraft and be legal.

    Thanks John. Great insight.

    To understand TERPS deeper, I am curious as if there would ever be any reason for a category C or D to be “NA” for reasons pertaining to approach speeds and maneuvering area related to say circling maneuvering speed/protected area from terrain.
