Can anybody point out a good bibliography or article that describes the differences in landing on a grass airstrip for the first time, tips and advices? Thanks Actually, I find my landings are better on grass that hard surface. I feel real good then go to my homme airport with asphalt and do terrible. A friend of mine has a 3000' E/W grass strip right up on a lake. Fun to fly in and out of. However, you have to watch landing in the evening to the west. The sun will blind you. Because of the upslope, protocol is to land up hill to the west and take off downhill to the east and over the lake, unless the wind is such that that you should use the appropriate runway. 90% ofthe time the wind is out for the south. -- Regards, Ross C-172F 180 hp KSWI |
