How to land on a grass airstrip
Chris G. wrote: It was just a misconception I had until later in my training. I think it was probably because there are significant differences in the procedures (holding nose off vs, keep nose on the ground as much as possible), they're tested separately in the PTS, and I didn't really have a good practice strip for short/soft fields. My Instructor (aka my Dad) did a good job explaining the need to combine techniques, I just didn't get it until later on. any-one want to give out the speed/time formulae as to finding the length of the grass strip -before- you land on it...
