- Talking to an instructor about grass strips in Spanaflight Flight School, and FBO in WA state, inspired me to make this video about grass strips hidden dangers.

I’ve been watching your videos since day 1. I get my STOL cuff installed next month on my older 172 with big tires. You are a great aviator and a great inspiration to amateurs like me. Great video Larry.
Thank you!
As always, Larry, fabulous flying techniques and scenic video!
9:10 Seeing the compass issue really showed me the intensity of the vibration instead of what i “thought” based on the video.
What a super good pilot and great teacher. I’ve learned so many things thank you
Great videos, you're so humble, so straight to the point. Muchas gracias y sigue haciéndolos!
Great video. Thank you for the information from your experiences.
Fantastic video!! Easy to watch. I’ve not done many grass strip landings, but working up to it. 👍
Great video, Larry. In the midwest a big problem is how fast the grass grows and farm strips that will not be mowed until harvest. I used many of those with standard tires. You mentioned and demonstrated the mud problem well. Six to eight inch tall grass becomes very difficult, both landing nose over or nose gear problem and especially on takeoff. Getting into low ground effect on takeoff as soon as the wing will fly in low ground effect is necessary. Add rain and you may have to wait a long time for cutting or at least drying. You can get caught easily and then rain can prevent takeoff.
I love these videos.. Thank you for making them.. Peace man Rolfie
Excellent video. Looking forward to joining you in Costa Rica soon
Thanks for this!
Thanks. Nice flying
Larry, you make it look so easy....I'm not a pilot. I just took a discovery flight this year at age 62 and it was amazing! Would love to have you as my flight instructor here in South Florida. You have incredible skills and an excellent way of explaining situations that every pilot should be aware of. Thank you for sharing.
Don’t let obstacles get in your way, get your certificate.
3:08 Lost River W12. Been there what crazy views that place has.
Love the use of the drone...the footage is excellent. Personally, I have only been to grass strips during my training. I know the procedures but will use only in an emergency...I prefer a paved, no ice, no water runway any day of the week.
10:39 Gorgeous approach
Nice Video!!! Greetings from Argentina!! SADF airport!
What a beautiful place to fly and explore with the perfect plane like this for this kind of cool flying and being able to land almost anywhere! So cool...
I always wanted to get lessons and maybe one day be able to get my own plane like this and get my license. But the planes prices have gone up so much in recent years plus all the other costs for an airplane in area like where i am..
Super!!!
Спасибо!
What are your 3 tire sizes stock vs current setup please ?
Wet grass isn’t forgiving when light braking is applied especially in the Tailwheel Aircraft that I fly into the grass strip that we operate for off airport takeoff and landings
What speed r u landing at?
Not to mention rutting up some guy’s grass strip that he’ll have to repair, even if you make it out.
That strips belongs to my uncle, he does not care we rutted up the strip.
@@motoadveBackcountry182 keeping our grass field mowed & crowned is enough work. Rutting, beat down grass, & the erosion from both are why we finally closed our field & made it Restricted on the sectionals. Now only those of us with hangers can use the field. Our rule is “repair your divots” or lose your hanger.
great video. What are the laws for landing in none certified airports in Costa Rica?
Not allowed in Costa Rica
@@motoadveBackcountry182 So all of these grass strips are approved I guess? I live in Flamingo. Apparently they use to have a strip here near the old marina. I would like to take up flying again but here it's just not practical to do so. I really enjoy your videos. Maybe we can fly together one day. Are you mostly flying out of Pavos?
@@cougarlove8542 Flying out of Tamarindo mostly
@@motoadveBackcountry182 If they only had hangers for normal plane there. Plenty of room for some but nothing but a time Gyro Copter hanger.
Bonjour, je trouve tes vidéos très intéressantes. Vraiment dommage que je ne comprenne pas tes commentaires.
Where is the WA strip???????
Like ground hog hole that are hidden
I want to fly your 170
Should have spoken better English....I might have watched more of it.
Had no issues with the english.
Amazing videos.
I own a 182, and looking forward to improving my skills to this level!
