Cheers HFD. I understand now. However, to me this sort of join at an uncontrolled civi airfield is dodgy. Take that satellite RAF run airfield south of EGDM. (Hehe) It has a lot of none radio traffic that will be expecting others to join into the circuit crosswind at crosswind height over the upwind numbers. If you join how you say, you could end up joinin at any point cos you you could assume that as you can't see anyone downwind, there ain't anyone there. End up pulling steep turn with your back side to the Piper Cub thats minding its own business downwind. This is why we should stick to standard joins as already taught. You IP is for military and controlled airfields were RT is mandatory. PS I should be back in real civilization for the Xmas dinner. No food fights tho please, I now have a reputation? (Do I????)
May well be back for the Mexican on the 17th to!! Bye for now, off to do raw data ILS's into London City now. Like doing the MEP(L) IR test again!
