Thanks for the answers so far, all help is appreciated. As requested by PA42, I will post a report on the differences in emphasis between ICAO and FAA flight instructor examinations once I have finished. Don't hold your breath.
Gray 14 - Personal opinion, I believe in teaching running take-offs and landings as it teaches co-ordination and can be of practical use. I have used the technique many times for dust landings, best with wheels of course. Approach technique can also be used when doing single engine training on multi-engine machines. Best of all, I just like doing them. I get a better feeling of accomplishment rolling on softly than doing a good hover landing. That's just me. From previous threads, rolling T/O and landings seem to be a controversial subject and I don't know why. It is just another tool in a pilot's inventory and I like knowing how to do them.
