How often do you get to land or take off from something other than a

Ah...that is part of the problem and why? Lack of experience on the
parts of the instructors who train pilots to operate of such strips?
And, why is that? Has to be an accident rate caused by pilots who had

experienced guys who have a hard time landing on paved runways and
controlled airports? Are we nearing extinction?
