in a cessna?! you should be at like 60knots untill you hit the threshold and the put the power down. with such a big runway you want to land and get off the runway quickly so you gotta aim a few hundred yards before the exit as well.

u know the waters actually quite shallow around the runway. I was literally driving along the bottom for a while before the front wheel sunk down like that 😎
