Landing on grass runway

Post by THibben »

When landing or taking off on grass runways there appears to be excessive bounce. Is there anyway to reduce this effect?

Thanks,

Tom

Depending on the type of ground your landing on, its typical to get a little more bounce then normal :)

Try keeping the nose light while on rough ground. This should reduce any dramatic pitch rebound from the nose gear hitting bumps and ruts.
