My point was fields are not "known quantities", so listing them as "landable"...olden days when we did actually turn at turnpoints, airports were often used as turnpoints because they were easy to identify by the pilot and the person reading the film, not because they were landable.

There is no debating that glide navigation into a known quantity is better than having glide navigation into an unlandable point.
... to flaps is that they are hard to train for, since there are few two-seaters that have them. And too many gliders that do have them (I'm looking at you, SGS 1-35), don't have enough of them, so it's too easy to float down the runway. Flaps that go to only 60 degrees aren't enough; it takes at least 85 to reliably kill the float and get onto the ground with authority. Bob I've ...
