I don't know why I'm entering the fray again, but as this thread has crept beyond all recognition, here's an example. Me FO, me PF, GLA to BHD, tailwind, misjudged the ROD, ATC asks if I have enough track miles, red faced I have to admit not, OK they say, turn left, the long way around onto hdg xxx to intercept loc. Is that not an orbit? Not quite on final, but as near as dammit, after all I could see the chimney, but just couldn't get down in time!
