Default How to land on a grass airstrip

No difference, just land normally...


Incorrect advice.....
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.


You mean you don't do a normal landing this way?
