       AAAMEN Doug !    I am in Austria right now and discussed this same topic (taxi on grass or soft terrain) today.   I recommend the same procedure that you cited ..... ESPECIALLY at Oshkosh.   And do not mince words in your 'explaination'  ,,, As Required.   Cheers from Tirol.   Ed, N767EM

Shut down your engine on the pavement and get a tow to your parking space.
They won't like it but ...

I did this and the woman who was directing me got frustrated that I couldn't
just drive the plane onto the grass with the propeller off.  Had to explain
to her that there was no power to the wheels - lol

Subject: [LML] Taxiing at OSH

Anyone have advice on how to avoid or at least minimize taxiing on the grass
after landing at Airventure.  The last time I flew my Propjet to OSH a few
years ago they quickly put me on the grass despite my gesturing objections
which made me very nervous with the prop clearance and bumps. I understand
that Joe Bartels bent his engine mount taxiing on rough grass.  I prefer to
go to or get as close as possible to aircraft camping though I would rather
park close to asphalt and "backpack" to camping if need be.  Anyone know if
there will be a Lancair parking area?

Gonna try to go for a night or 2 hopefully for the LOBO dinner but not
willing to risk the grass taxi again.
