The operative word here is "unimproved." Usually, a dedicated grass runway is an "improved" runway; therefore, it falls outside the restriction. Improved runways include turf, pavement -- even graded dirt, for that matter. "Improved" at our flight school, and at other flight schools/FBOs at this municipal airport and two others within a 15 nm radius means PAVED, period. Grass, turf, graded dirt and any other *non-paved* surface is considered unimproved ... as verified by FBO/flight school owners whenever questioned by students/renters as they sign the aircraft rental agreement. This applies to EVERYONE flying the aircraft - students, licensed pilots, CFIs, examiners. That's not to say some don't land elsewhere, but as with any "rule", there will always be some that think it doesn't apply to them! |
