I presume you are a doctor?

I believe when you do "land aways" are dependant on the local environment or whether you need to practice some particular aspect of flying which isn't available at your home airfield. For example, I train at a large controlled airport so we did a number of lessons where we went to a small Ground/Air airport, which involved zone transits, and so I practised short landings; radio at an uncontrolled field; overhead joins; smaller circuits there.

When doing the solo qualifying cross-country (QXC) I had only been to one of the 3 airports I landed at once before.

So in summary - there is no fixed answer. Its up to local conditions and your instructor.
