Flight planning becomes more advanced than before, flying SIDs and STARs, and instrument approaches. Ideally, you should plan for an alternate when the weather is above those minima if you believe the weather is unstable and may deteriorate. Remember that weather conditions vary the further away you get.

Weather, field conditions, obstacles, and many other elements greatly affect short field operations. It only takes a 10% increase in approach speed to increase the landing roll by 20%. These obstacles frequently affect the approach and missed approach paths. Performing short field landings requires careful consideration.
