CONT

La vitesse d'approche plus basse, la plus grande manœuvrabilité et la longueur de roulement à l'atterrissage plus faible qui caractérisent en général les avions commuter font qu'il serait sans doute possible et avantageux, dans la plupart des grands aéroports, de les faire décoller et atterrir sur des pistes tronquées, ou même sur des chemins de roulement.
