The problem I have is that there may be a few/many pilots out there (i'm one of them) who do not know what to do if told to orbit since its not in the PPL syllabus. I know that an orbit is a 360 deg turn. It's a bit like telling me to do an insrument approach or hold. I don't know what RT phraseology is used with respect to orbits so i don't know what to expect
G-XX orbit?
G-XX cleared to orbit??
G-XX maintain orbit???
will I be told how many orbits to do and where to do them?
