'Shorter field landings?
Having recently landed a Pilatus B4 'wheels up, on a wet grass runway
(without any physical damage to the a/c!). I noted the extremely short ground run! Could this be a useful option- if you have selected a slightly small field for an out-landing (ie- leave the u/c up?) Another scenario, perhaps if you find the glider rolling along at high speed towards an obstacle, then retract the u/c! Expensive, but maybe less painful?
