I know of one instructor who takes his students on a diversion leg to the nearest airfield, so they can handle this in the event the runway is blocked when they are solo.

Is this a consideration for anyone else, or is he going way too indepth at this stage? I currently fly from a small airfield where a runway blockage is very unlikely, but from a large commercial airfield, it could easily happen.
