If you try to fly over them at that stage in your approach. You. Will. Die.
Quite possibly which is exactly my point, I will die because I dont have suficient airspeed to get over them. with perhaps a little more speed I may fly over and land safely.

No one expects you to see wires from 3,000ft, but you are expected to seem them from your downwind point, at 800ft-1000ft.
Yes I know but suppose.... just suppose I didn't,

What were you actually taught to do?
Same as you and everyone else, but it seems sensible to discuss every posibility.

If this thread is not a wind up/troll exercise then it is of huge concern.
