well should there really be 6 aircraft in a circuit, unless their in formation i dont think so!
if airfield management established a rule you wouldnt get the problem but they dont thats my point, its free for all at airfields were civvy flying schools operate.
my last post i though explained the advantage of ovals in a civvy circuit but obviuosly its not always possible but dont forget you are teaching for life skills not just a skills test. If
you were flying a £200 an hour a/c around the circuit and paying for it what shape would your circuits be!!??
