Have to agree with kelly re the early turn request from tower. We had the chief controller of the tower across for a bit of a getting to know you session the other week and he confirmed that an early turn meant as soon as 500ft agl had been reached before commencing the turn. He wasn't all that happy at the way that some of his juniors would use the request to try and speed things up expecting us to turn below that height. However to try and keep traffic flowing well it was decided that upon an early left/right turn request, an aircraft was to 'drift' in the appropriate direction and then everyone would be happy. But max rates at 200ft agl a definite no no despite how much fun they are!
