Since we can fly down to zero feet then they should be practiced into 'real' fields down to 2-300ft until perfected.
You're right , of course:
But in E Anglia there are at least four WW2 airfields in sight from 3000ft, and countless grass strips
My goal is not so much to achieve the perfect pfl, but not to upset joe public by flying too low:
I don't for example slam the C/S prop into fully fine at 800ft in our circuit.
IMHO all this pfl discussion would be better off in the other 'strip flying' thread...............................................
