As was mentioned before, what sorts the men from the boys is "no overshoot". Also forget about any Public transport operations into airfields. They by law have to have a low degree of risk. (Yes I have operated into the old Hong Kong and Innsbruck among others)

Some of the ag strips I have seen in NZ for example, take a lot of beating for skill required. E.G., a curved (banana) strip where the top of a ridge has been planed down, one way and no overshoot.

But my hat goes off to the bush pilots of Alaska. I thought I was quiet good but beside some of them I look like a boy in short pants.
