I am used to grass

Good evening,

I am new to this site and new to aviation
(57 hours in the book, PPL-A since 2nd of December),
based in western Slovakia.

My experience is different, my landings are all on grass with about
a dozen on asphalt. The grass can forgive more during landing.
If the alignment on touchdown is less than perfect the wheels slide
sideways a little on grass, on asphalt it ends with a worse landing.

The perception of the hight over the runway was different too.

Happy landings.
