The Diamond D-Jet is a very light jet (VLJ) aircraft, which means it has a relatively short runway requirement. According to Diamond Aircraft Industries, the D-Jet has a balanced field length (the minimum runway length required to safely take off and climb) of just 1,800 feet (549 m) and a takeoff distance of 2,050 feet (625 m). This makes it suitable for operation at small regional airports and even some private landing strips, as well as some of the smaller commercial airports. However, specific requirements may vary depending on the aircraft’s weight, weather conditions, and other factors.
