Has anyone else noticed the tendency for many flying schools to teach their studes larger/wider circuits?
Apparently this is to give the stude MORE TIME
(if they can't hack it, they obviously need more lessons in the circuit being taught how to fly a normal cct)
And also...for spacing?!
The number of times I end up getting circuit rage flying the square circuit is unreal. If you are number 2 and there is a cross country circuit going on infront...you get screwed over royally (as well as clocking up more minutes = more money to pay!)
Also, I don't think 3 mile finals are necessary in cct.
Come on instructors...sort it out!
I was always taught...spacing downwind... edge of wing on runway (or thereabouts, type dependent)
Any thoughts? Or is it just me?
Lets start teaching everyone oval ccts
