And interesting incident on that first taxiway landing. I take
it from your initial reaction and subsequent commentary that the bump
you hit couldn't be seen from the air? That's something to think
about....


That is correct Mike,

It look smooth. In fact, taxiing back to the end of the taxiway you
did not feel it, it was that gradual. Needless to say, got a better
appreciation of runway quality for level concrete (relatively
speaking)

What the airport could have done was put a temporary displaced
threshold or something in the NOTAM to land longer and this would have
been prevented. I have a video of a King Air taking off and when he
went over the bump, it lifted him a couple of inches off the ground
and he settled back on the ground and continued rolling.

Runway back in service, but good landing experience for a narrow
"runway" which was the primary reason for me flying that day.
