I spent some time flying a couple of Jockeys around in a Cessna 303 and the only tarmac I ever saw was at Oxford, Usually a pick up from a farmers field and on to a bit of flat ground at a racecourse.

I also flew skydivers in various Islanders, all from grass.

I was with a friend in Florida and he flew his E90 Kingair in to about 450 M of "turf" picked up two pax and off we went 4 up and 4 hours fuel.

I cant understand this not allowed into grass thing. Only difference to me is a bit more cleaning of the aircraft.
