....and Theater. :-)

(Actually, some pre-law students are known to take a Theater class, or two,
or three.)

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.

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.

It is simple, some people just make it complicated.

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.

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

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

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.

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.
