In the Alps, fields listed in the outlanding catalogues are typically 250m /
750ft long. But the last fields I landed on were 300ft (clear approach, but
trees on the far end...) and 500ft (telephone line on entry).

That's why I like the Calif and the ASW20 :-)

Landing on an airfield is not outlanding. What we refer to as outlanding
typically in Europe is 1000ft (if lucky) of unknown pasture.

I just tried to remember when an outlanding field I had to use actually
offered 1000 ft. Can't think of one. But then, this is the reason that in
our club, "each landing is a precision landing", no matter how generous
the runway might be. The precicion we require at our annual check flight
is touching down and coming to a full stop within a predefined area of
150m.
