How tall does the landing gear on this playne have to be to keep the propellers from striking the pavement?

We were on a low visibility approach and I saw the ground. As a passenger, I have a better perspective because I can see straight down whereas the pilots look forward. So, I dinged the FA call bell while assertively saying “Ground contact! Tell the pilots I have ground contact!” I did get what I thought was a weird look from the FA sitting at the middle bulkhead, yet she immediately picked up the inter phone. I couldn’t hear, but I am pretty sure she passed on this vital info to the pilots. Anyway, as we were disembarking, I thought that I’d at least score a set of pilot wings, get a thank you or at least a smile from the pilot standing in the cockpit doorway, but everyone just looked at me like I was an idiot. Were they just too tired to show gratitude?

Doubling down on the shoulder boards makes me a better Captain that commands respect and doubles my already great command presence, right?

I am all for waiting for the NTSB’s final report, but I must speculate. Whichever pilot did the performance obviously selected the 48’ trailer instead of the 53’ for the touch and go performance. Hell, I didn’t even know that FDP accounted for touch and go’s. How long has that capability been in place?

Which one of these stores has the widest selection of electric push mowers?
