A lovely thing about flying is that it really isn't "one size fits all". I suspect that were one to attempt a one-wheeled landing on say a Chevron it could well end in tears, but equally if it were kicked straight 100ft up one could easily end up in another county before reaching the threshold. On the other hand C150s will happily take any combination of crosswind techniques.
Similarly, in one aircraft a glide approach from the downwind is normal, in another a glide approach from the downwind is difficult and results in some fairly interesting attitudes. Maybe a more frequent use of glide approaches would improve PFLs/forced landings?
