Both are irrelevant. You use brakes during a soft field landing unless

conditions, rare conditions, prohibit them

Well, this has been beaten to death. Dog, if you want to risk busting a
nose gear and pranging the prop you keep doin' it your way. All the
reasons for NOT using brakes on a soft field landing (regardless of
field length) have been laid out and you still say we're all wrong.
Okay then...


It has been tossed around and, clearly, my experience and training differs
from some others and my assertion WRT what constitutes a soft field landing
and technique is being rethought. As I said, my training involved quite a
few turf landings and they were to be treated as soft field landings. Holes
was the claimed issue. In most cases, the turf is firm enough to allow
braking during the bit right after TD since there's still plenty of
elevator authority to keep the nose light. But if this isn't even
considered a soft field, then the point is, well, pointless. As I said, I'm
doing my own research.

Are you this obnoxious in person?


Yes. But you wouldn't see it that way. Welcome to Usenet.


Well at least you're honest. I can appreciate that.


Usenet is a place where the id is forever trying to come out and play. But,
it's also a place where it's difficult to be dishonest if you post from an
ISP and archive your posts. Even people who switch sockpuppets usually get
caught and suffer irreparable damage. And, thus far, there seems to be
little to risk from posting whatever opinion one feels. The medium lends
itself to honesty. And, unfortunately, occasional cowardice.
