ifresh21, what you have to realise is that your instructors are probably teaching you the safest, most straightforward way of landing at your particular airport. You are in your training phase and what you are taught is to give you a good general grounding and to get you through your flight test. Once you have your PPL, you get more confident and you start flying to loads of other airports you will find that you develop and use a number of different techniques to get back on the ground. There is no one right answer.
