They put me on runway 22L and it's over a mile long. With my plane I can land, never touch the brakes, and still come to a complete stop with plenty of the runway left at Midway. However with a little plane ATC generally wants you on the ground and off the runway ASAP because they almost always have another flight right behind you going twice as fast and catching up quickly.
It was a fairly interesting approach to the airport. They had me fly an instrument approach to runway 31C, so I was approaching the airport from the southeast. When I was fairly close, they had me circle around to runway 22L and land from the northeast. I'm pretty sure they did this because with a relatively slow approach speed, they are able to better sequence the faster traffic by waiting until they have a nice big hole to work me in on the southwest runway.
