Not true. I have landed many, many times on these type of runways. As my dad taught me, the key is the length of the runway. If you think that you be landing long, he said to go around. No problem in the 10y that I been doing that in our baron.
The brakin action was better than expected, they have put sand on th surface. On a piston aircraft without reverse that would be unsafe. The Kin Air handles this very well. One must exercise greatst caution when taxiing not to hit one of these snowbnks adjacent to he taxiways.
@okguido just wondering why would it be dangerous for a piston plane to land on a sanded rnwy. I'm a Cherokee and Senca driver and live in the U.P. of MI I land on sand all the time during winter.
