Do you ever do overhead joins in Ireland dp?
I joined overhead at Birr, much to the resident microlighters amusement
Yes we do, but there isn't anything very standard about them!
Not that many airfields insist on a particular joining method, so it's a case of just useing what you think is most appropriate. If you think a standard o/h join is the most appropriate then that is generally fine.
An obvious exception is Weston who have a non-standard overhead join. Or at least they did before they got their new class C airspace. I haven't been in since they got that, so things may have changed.
