How to land on a grass airstrip
A,
You want to land as softly and as slowly as possible on a grass strip. Also want to keep the nosewheel off terra firma as long as possible so it doesn't run the risk of "digging in" from the weight of the engine and prop when the nose wheel does touch down. After touchtown, the yoke should be full aft. Taxiing on soft fields is also significantly different. You hold the yoke back full aft and taxi with more power to ease the pressure of the nose wheel. Which part of that would not be beneficial on asphalt? -- Thomas Borchert (EDDH)
