orbit on final
This is something I only came across recently. I am a low houred(140) ppl who was flying, as a passenger, into a regional airport when on final, we were instructed to orbit to maintain spacing from slow traffic ahead. My friend did this with no problem but afterwards I thought that if I had been flying I would have been unaware of which way to orbit. We had been flying a right hand circuit and my friend made a left hand orbit to rejoin without incident. From this I assumed the orbit should be made to the outside of the circuit or should ATC specify the direction of the orbit?
