I-Ford. Show me an OP's manual that approves orbits on final approach?
Weary. Are you doing your own thing again? You are one of the lucky ones that has got away it. Making things up as you go along is not the way to fly an aircraft.
I am sure you have the ability to turn an aircraft through 360 degrees but I think you should ask yourself if you should be carrying out such a manoeuvre.
Think about the Eire Jet that landed at Ballykelly Airport instead of Londonderry. Maybe if he hadn't taken up an orbit on final approach he wouldn't have landed at the wrong airport.
Maybe the 737 at Bristol wouldn't have come within 300 feet of the ground if he hadn't of made an orbit on Final.
Do you need more examples? Do you know more than your company?
Follow your company procedures and you won't go far wrong.
