Around here the FBOs that rent taildraggers only allow operation on

Grass causes no additional wear and tear and in fact is easier on tires.
We
are talking about turf runways not dirt.


We were talking about the rule at flight schools/FBOs prohibiting

grass/turf and/or dirt and sand, or anything that's *not paved*.


That is not the definition of an unimproved strip.
