This brings up unnecessarily high approach speeds again, but we won't 
go there.

Gang, let me just add that proper training should include short field 
techniques and proficiency.  You owe it to yourself to be able to 
competently fly your airplane within the performance envelope....your 
first short field landing should not be an engine out emergency, but 
unfortunately it seems many of us only use their instructors to get 
them proficient in vanilla operation...after all, it costs more to 
spend a couple of hours practicing the techniques than can be the 
difference between life and death.  Tell your wife/accountant 
(sometimes one in the same...LOL!)  it's a life insurance policy....and 
just do it!  You won't be disappointed and you'll be a much more 
capable and confident pilot as a result...not only that, it's fun!  ;)

Cheers,

Barry
