No brakes, huh? What kind of plane are you talking about? Have you
done

any on short fields? (As most turf strips are.) If it's swampy enough
to
create enough drag to quickly slow you down well, that's the same as
braking, right? *Think.*

First you said "soft field" (go back and reread your own post) **no
brakes** Now you're saying "short field". Of course you'd use brakes
on a short field. I'm a CFI, this is nothing new to me, I've taught
short/soft field techniques till I puked.


"Have you done any (soft field landings, the topic of conversation, in case
you forgot or are too dense) on short fields? (As most turf strips are.)"
Is that better now? You, of course, know that most soft fields are short.
And, you don't use short field technique because you want to TD as lightly
as possible and that often requires dragging it in with a bit of power. You
really don't touch the brakes doing this on a 1500' grass strip? Sure.

And spare me your smartass
comments like "try again" and "think" when you're contradicting
yourself *Genius*


It's Usenet. And you've misread my post. Try to get over it.
