Crab,

This ain't Northern Ireland, and with very rare exceptions there are no bad guys shooting at us, and we have said the high, steep, slow approach is the better technique for avoiding wires... not the only way. In most cases using the Steep/Slow approach will allow you to see the Wires you might miss on a standard Confined Area Approach in time and avoid them. The Normal Approach you mention sounds good in theory but in reality there is a better way. That is the point being made....and most have accepted that.

In essence what you just told us is you prefer to cling to the standard night LZ approach and landing technique you learned at the Colored Pencil Academy no matter the circumstances.

Do you only wear one pair of shoes?
