Aircraft and laws of physics don't change

However from memory circuits are generally flown differently with the US preferring start of descent at the end of the downwind with 1 stage flap then also and then incremental flap on base and final

UK generally want height to be maintained until established on base leg and the flap base and final.

Not a big difference but lots of UK instructors without US experience don't appreciate the difference and may tell you that you are "wrong"

Easy to adapt your style if aware
