If you are told to "make one right hand orbit for spacing" by an ATCO, the only RT you need to conjure from your vast pool of learning is "Willco".

Should you feel that the request is unreasonable, or dangerous, you can say "Unable (give a reason)".

In flying an orbit, you are not being asked to peform some FAA Ground reference manoeuvre. You are simply being told to make some room, and flying a circle happens to be a neat way of doing that.

There is surely an element of mountains and molehills here?
