Orbiting
I've looked through PPL books and the syllabus ad there is nothing in there about orbiting. My school discourages orbiting in the circuit, and after a near head on collision with another a/c on downwind I agree fully with them. But light aircraft at busy controlled airports are usually expect to asked to orbit while the big boys land. I have checked CAP 413 and it says nothing about orbiting.
So what in an orbit? what power settings/angle of bank/rate of turn do you use?
