Peterh no i wasnt talking about landing and taking off. My example was only to illustrate a "good" strip can be more difficult than one might think when it comes to the crunch.

All this talk of FL creates the impression they are easy; the evidence is plenty go wrong even into good looking fields.

A good friend of mine killed himself and his partner. He had 4,000 hours all in light aircraft, i flew with him a bit he was a good pilot, the field was pretty good too but it all went horribly wrong - it happens to the best, and i think any FL should be taken very seriously.

Thats the point i wanted to make.
