Ah, bigflyingrob,
Didn't you know
that it's a rule when flying from a club near the M25 that you have to fly your circuit outside the ATZ? I've encountered similar near another one round the corner. I think it's probably something to do with working the way around all the noise objectors that live in that area.
I suppose the correct technique must be to join in their traffic pattern, then when you get downwind do a quick duck out of circuit onto your own runway.
Any comments from the non-microlight community on how to handle this problem?
