Getting back to the subject, sort of....; Only today I was doing a bit of Glider towing again and at one stage I heard an aircraft call up in the circuit area of an airfield about 50 or so km to the East.
He made two inbound calls, one at 20nm and the second at 10nm. He then called overhead, and after making his mind up on which runway to use, downwind on that runway.
He then also made turning base
and when established on finals.
I will make no further comment.
