Has anyone else noticed the tendency for many flying schools to teach their studes larger/wider circuits?
Yes and no. My school's owner went so far as to track me down on the ground after seening one of my more than bijou efforts. Being nice and reasonable is OK, but sometimes a bollocking works wonders
However, I often watch the other big name school's circuits with disbelief; one sometimes wonders if the pilot has died at the controls as it heads off seemingly to the downwind horizon
