To be honest...Yes! in fact...it was my best approach and landing into TFFJ I've had to date! Stopped with about 500 foot of rwy to spare! This one is the piston Duke, and doesn't have the stopping power of the turbine duke, but I was on airspeed on "glide path" if you can call it that winkyy.gif , and it stopped with no issues...I was actually pretty pleased overall!

Some of these airports do give you the impression your landing on an aircraft carrier .

But at least a aircraft carrier has trapping wires
