We only landed once on a grass field, at Eggersdorf (EDCE) in Germany. It was a no event, though it was much more shaky than on a concrete airstrip. I got stuck once while taxiing our aircraft on the grass in front of our maintenance shop at EBZW in Belgium. The grass was wet and the wheels sank int...

I am convinced that this is a good idea. Destination concerns are probably much different wether you fly in Europe or in the US.

When I'm alone with little fuel, I land on a very short distance: from the numbers (24) to the first taxi left at home base EBST (you can check on google earth). I'll try to measure the distance some time. (But I know I have 2000 ft of concrete ahead !). I believe a Pilatus Porter would be ideal for...
