Landings at an airfield and Confined Area Operations are two entirely different evolutions. Techniques learned at the airfield transfer to the Confined Area but are a subset of those used doing Confined Area Operations.

Do you not teach the concept of High and Low Recon (Recce for our UK brethren) and a landing approach that considers the nature of the area you are landing into....some cow pastures can be quite large and some clearings in the forest can be very small and two different approaches would be called for.

I do hope you are teaching "Think" along with the rote memory lessons.
