I am willing to bet most fresh CPL holders can count the number of off-airfield landings they have done on one hand.
True, it's often school's policy to 'mitigate' risks. I've done handful of tight off-airports/confines with my instructor or two recent months and I could have done much more. That's all in R22 as well, so often not great power margin at almost max gross. I guess it's even worse in the UK.
I'm like, Hey I want to do couple more autos or running landings/whatever for the checkride/LST, then instructor replying I'm fine on that, let's do some off-airports.. :-) he's also tired of staying on the field most of time..
