RULES OF THUMBExample: At a field elevation of 2,000 feet and 30 degrees Celsius (88 degrees Fahrenheit) air temperature, a gross weight Cessna 182Q needs 930 feet to break ground. That means choosing a runway at least 1,329 feet long.

It's not just runway but the distance and obstacles at the end of the runway that determine take off distance, as well as temperature, air pressure, wind direction, and the load the aircraft is carrying. Short answer: about 2,055 ft (626 m) with a ground roll of about 1,160 ft (354 m).
Typical takeoff air speeds for jetliners are in the range of 240–285 km/h (130–154 kn; 149–177 mph). Light aircraft, such as a Cessna 150, take off at around 100 km/h (54 kn; 62 mph).
The Boeing 747 is considered to have the longest takeoff distance of the more common aircraft types and has set the standard for runway lengths of larger international airports. At sea level, 3,200 m (10,500 ft) can be considered an adequate length to land virtually any aircraft.
There are no specific restrictions on landing and takeoff of aircraft in most jurisdictions. You should check the regulations of the State, county, and municipality in which you intend to land.
In reality, with just a little practice in the average light airplane, smooth runways with reasonably clear approaches shouldn't be classified as short until they get down to around 1,500 feet, depending on conditions and pilot proficiency. The name of the game, however, is practice and more practice.
Yes, private planes are allowed to land at public airports. Many private pilots choose to land at public airports instead of private ones due to their convenient locations and availability of services. Private planes may often land at public airports for various reasons.
This is especially true for the critical aircraft – the Boeing 737-900 which requires a landing length of 6,800 feet under wet conditions and a takeoff length of 9,700 feet under maximum takeoff weight.
