Well the opinion so far is that 3 to 4 inches is acceptable. Still looks a bit shaggy to me !! Maybe taildraggers fair ok but I wonder if the nose-pushers might end up with green prop tips

Blimey Pete, I always suspected that all you SATCOs did all day was sitting around watching the grass grow. . . .
No....I sit around watching the subordinate ranks cutting the grass with nail scissors and sweeping the glidepath with a broom whilst savouring a Pimms by the pool.

Interestingly the CAA quote 'long grass' as not being very long. In fact you can still see a pint beer glass above the tops. Wonder how they came about that one? Mathematical calculation or practical experience? Probably the only time a beer glass has been used a a unit of measurement in a CAP document.
