Grass or Concrete: Which is Better for Landing and Why It Matters

Grass or Concrete: Which is Better for Landing and Why It Matters

Which surface is better for landing? For some reason, I prefer concrete. While grass is softer and results in an easier and gentler touchdown, concrete is flatter and smoother. Moreover, taking off from a concrete runway is definitely better.

However, I understand the importance of gaining experience on grass strips, particularly for bush pilot jobs. Fortunately, I am blessed with plenty of options to practice in the Czech Republic.
