I'm not a native English speaker, so what do I know, but if I had
translated that way in my English tests, I sure would have failed.

Little know fact... many US barristers get their undergraduate degree in
English before going on to get their JD.

All,

My goodness, this is great I searched in Google and in my books and I
couldn't find a lot of info on the matter, then I decided to try the
forum and then... bum... 112 posts, I really appreciated all answers,
it makes me think that the subject is not as simple as I though. I have
only 90hours in my log and only 12 hours solo, most of them in a
Diamond katana DV20 and never land in any other surface than asphalt. I
think I'm going to invest in one hour CFI, to get the minimum
knowledge transfer and then try it myself. Thank again for all the
answers.

Clive, congrats to you for posting a topic that inspired so many
thought-provoking responses! Please let us know how the grass landing
goes and also what your CFI has to say/advise during the hour. Good luck!

Well, as they used to say during the 1960s, "There's nothing like good
grass!" :)

Enjoy. Nothing like a well maintained grass strip on a warm summer day!

Just be sure to report back here with your experience.

The grass strip I regularly fly in and out of is irrigated. Nice smooth
and green in the summer here in no rain Texas.

It is simple, some people just make it complicated.

What is a barrister? Is that anything like a lawyer or attorney? :-)

Do a Google search... "Rumpole of the Bailey"

In the UK lawyers are called barristers. There may be a further
distinction. I sat in on a trial for fun while in London on business.
They had the wigs, robes and all. Very eloquent speaking. Not like our
US TV shows.
