I would NOT land my commander 115 on a grass field, I would rather take the other runway!

Nice plane and shots!

Regards,

Well Arman,


Thanks,

But when you use ATC in MSFS2002, and the the grass runway is the longest runway at JOT, and the winds dictate that runway and the grass has great drainage. And when you click on report final, it always states the grass because that is the longest runway. That is when I use the grass, and the Commander can handle soft fields just fine. Damage is always on, and the gear is fine. :-)

Thanks for the compliments. :-)

Hi Again,

I just flew a quick Pattern on 12 even though the runway on my pattern announcements was not 12. Oh well, it's an uncontrolled field, so actually I don't have to make any announcements at all. :-)

Enjoy, :-)
Joe
