far as I'm concerned if your approach is identical whether landing on a
7000' paved runway or an outlanding in a short field you have missed the

In our club, the approach is: No matter how long and wide a runway is,
every landing is a spot landing because every landing is a training for
that outlanding to come.

Of course, a busy airport with commercial traffic may be another story.
