Around here the FBOs that rent taildraggers only allow operation on
grass.
Grass causes no additional wear and tear and in fact is easier on tires.
We
are talking about turf runways not dirt.

We were talking about the rule at flight schools/FBOs prohibiting
landing rental aircraft on "unimproved" strips -- that encompasses
grass/turf and/or dirt and sand, or anything that's *not paved*.

That is not the definition of an unimproved strip.

Tell it to the flight schools/FBOs at this and two other municipal
airports in this area. They all define it the same way, as above.

To be honest, I could care less what FBOs in your area do.

Likewise, but what's with the attitude? The point is that "improved" or
"unimproved" is obviously not defined the same by everyone. If you sign
a rental agreement that specifies same, ask for clarification...unless
you want to argue with them later. That's all.

Hopefully I will never have to go back to renting. What with all the goof
ball FBO rules I suspect flying would become a thing of the past for me.
