thank you for that, i had forgotten that phrase the 'bomber circuit'.

anyone who advocates square circuits should read you post, you are spot on.

the ridiculous circuit pattern flown by flying clubs is the one reason why i never want to fly light a/c again as an instructor.

how can you monitor and teach in such a n undisciplined enviroment?
I have to say, i agree whatunion, hats off to those GA instructors who go up day in day out to teach ex 12&13 - they are nuts! i wouldn't.

If clubs are going to continue with sq. ccts they need to seriously address the re-join/join procedure (limit to overhead join?). and also perhaps reiterate the spacing on downwind between the runway and the aircraft... i certainly bought up the bomber circuit issue at the last safety meeting at out airfield
