Paco,
Fair enough, but you are lumping Jan in with these other schools of which you speak. Jan doesn't preach a narrow, one size fits all(situations) approach to mountain work. What he does preach is an in depth UNDERSTANDING of the mechanics of wind in the mountains. Once that is understood, then the pilot has the tools with which to make the best approach possible, landing if all indications are that it can be accomplished safely and with a very high degree of certainty.
There are certain situations where CHL does condone a "steeper" type approach. "Steeper" benig a relative term of course, and then usually only in Saddle type situations with higher winds. Again, steep is probably not the right term.
I just wanted to make sure you are not lumping Jan into the group of average Mounatain Schools that you speak of.
