Default Do you allow landings on short fields?

Yep, that's the club. At least they have removed the 3,000'
restriction. One of the clubs quickly recovered when I asked where to
return the aircraft and said the restriction only applied to non-towered
fields. How or why the presence of a control tower should make a
difference, I don't know.


The tower will make some effort to see that you land into the wind.
Downwind landings and short runways make a bad combination.
