One more
question about Oshkosh arrival. The notam says to exit the
runway after
landing onto the sod. Is the sod in good condition? Are
there any bumps or
holes that might cause a problem for an LNC2 with
the standard gear? I do
not like to taxi on sod. I normally get help
and move the plane by hand if
I have to cross or park on sod.
Mike,
Hmmmmm, I never heard of landing on sod at OSH except for the ultralight
field. When you taxi to parking (not camping), the taxiways are
paved. You may be asked to taxi off the taxiway and onto grass to get to
the parking spot - this is ok of the ground is not soft (a few years ago, a 360
with an MT prop sunk in enough to require prop repair).
