I'm beginning to understand why so many pilots go comatose at the thought of landing on grass when in fact it is much more forgiving than hard surface. Thanks to both you and Matt but what do you mean by grass being more forgiving than a hard surface? I'm no pilot but I think that if one of your reversers deploys just a touch later than the other, you'd be in greater trouble on grass. There'd also probably be increased chances of debris ingestion when reversing. And if you want to kick after touching down in a crab, you might want a hard surface underneath. Others here might hold a different view on this. Ramapriya I removed the reversers years ago. |
