The operative word here is "unimproved." Usually, a dedicated grass
runway is an "improved" runway; therefore, it falls outside the
restriction. Improved runways include turf, pavement -- even graded
dirt, for that matter.

"Improved" at our flight school, and at other flight schools/FBOs at
this municipal airport and two others within a 15 nm radius means
PAVED, period. Grass, turf, graded dirt and any other *non-paved*
surface is considered unimproved ... as verified by FBO/flight school
owners whenever questioned by students/renters as they sign the
aircraft rental agreement. This applies to EVERYONE flying the
aircraft - students, licensed pilots, CFIs, examiners. That's not to
say some don't land elsewhere, but as with any "rule", there will
always be some that think it doesn't apply to them!


i doubt that would hold up if the FBO ever tried to sue you or otherwise
enforce it, if they mean PAVED, they should state PAVED...
