The 501 is one of the few Citations which allows turf in stock configuration, though it does prohibit gravel runways without a kit. The 550, 551, 560 don't, paved only, unless gravel kit installed. Quote: I can tell almost no difference in hard sod versus pavement with respect to takeoff distance. You will notice if an engine fails just before V1 and want to stop. Otherwise, turf will lengthen a normal takeoff a tiny amount due to a slight increase in rolling friction. Quote: Sod is a much better surface for airplanes than pavement IMO. Agreed, far less wear and tear on the airplane that hard surface. It just doesn't provide the same braking. Quote: 3000 feet of sod would probably be my limit on a 501. Not in the morning with dew on it... There is a big difference between buffalo grass on a hot dry afternoon day and fine fescue on a moist morning. The variability in braking action is one reason to be particularly cautious on turf runways when you depend on braking. For a turboprop, no issue, we don't use brakes. One of the downsides of moving out of turboprops is that I will no longer be able to land at my brother's field, the best turf runway in all of Kansas, IMO. All things are compromises. Mike C.
We bought our Lear 24 from a Canadian oil and gas exploration company that flew it out to sites that had gravel runways, and the gravel kit was a chined nose tire and armored flaps, and it also had a drag chute.
We based the plane at the boss's ranch with a 3000 foot dirt strip. We tried the drag chute a couple of times but it just wasn't that effective with the low ref speed of 98 knots with the Dee Howard wing mod and Dee Howard quick deploying hydraulic reversers, and we had pretty good braking action on the compacted strip, so we took the drag chute out. The chart below shows the effectiveness of the drag chute at various speeds.

INDOT has no discretion in this matter. Indiana statutes require minimum financial responsibility. IC 9-25-4.
Quote: 2. Does not apply to non residents. It really can't due to Federal jurisdiction on interstate commerce. Yes minimum financial liability laws do apply to non-residents. ...
Quote: 4. The basic rules are from a law from 1951, 70 years ago. indeed Indiana needs to update it's minimums.
Quote: Translation: effectively zero net effect on me, so much so, I didn't even know this existed. Don't have an aircraft accident that is your fault without insurance. You can lose your driving privileges and have all your motor vehicle registrations cancelled.

The correct statute is IC 8-21-3-2: "The department may require proof of financial responsibility for a period of one (1) year in the manner provided for in this chapter." Notice the word "may". You confused having financial responsibility with the requirement to provide proof. INDOT has the discretion to not require proof, as I said, per the above statute. Quote: Don't have an aircraft accident that is your fault without insurance. The statute says you have to have financial responsibility, not necessarily insurance. Mike C.

I believe you are reading one statute in a way that no court in Indiana has ever read it before. But, this is why I should not try to offer legal information over the internet. I will end this discussion with this admonition: This is not legal advice, and, you should seek the counsel of an attorney if you plan to operate an aircraft in Indiana without insurance or posting the required bond. I rest assured that my interpritation of the law is that which will prevail in court, not yours.

not as naughty as those ones doing touch n goes in a Fokker 100 https://dai.ly/x2tojcaTexel’s grass runway is quite long and the surface is firm so larger aircraft are not that uncommon
