I see your point, but then I would say 20/30 minutes and half a dozen landings in a brisk crosswind would be enough. You get familiar with it by flying it around, but the flying around is much the same in a Piper as a Cessna.Certainly where I fly from that's what happens. Oval circuits get more landings in as well. Can't speak for the fleecers of whom I'm sure there are plenty. I fly 152/172/28 variants and can't say I felt under trained after a few landings.
