Operating the S61 from a grass strip
The S61 RFM says, if I recall correctly, that any grass surface used must be 'firm'. Well there were some pretty 'Nelsonian' views taken of places like North Denes I seem to remember and PZ was at least well drained but what of Lands End? Will the EASA era bring with it an end to casting a blind eye over such things? I'm not entirely sure that the original CAA Cat A increased AUM (from 19,000 to 20,500) actually envisaged operating from grass at that higher mass. We did of course, but that's another thing entirely.
Anyone have any more accurate recollections?
