The usual reason that an aircraft orbits on final is because as you where on mid downwind a jet about to take off has just lined up... so you proceed to turn base...... jet still there.... turn final.... jet still there..... slow down as much as possible..... jet still there.... and they always seem too busy to answer radio calls to advise how long they plan to sit on the active runway with five 210's and a conquest in the circuit.......... an aircraft shouldn't be on the active runway unless it is backtracking or ready to roll.......
