Joining on long final...... why?
Runway in use is 07.
Air/ground radio - manned.
Traffic inbound from both east and west, some high performance, some medium, some low.
Two aircraft (dissimilar types) want to join long final. A seven mile final for 07!
Why do people insist on joining long final, it really buggers up circuit traffic?
From being rightfully #1 to land to being cut up on final by two long-finalists really made my day today.
A serious lack of airmanship and spatial awareness. Whatever happened to tight circuits? Today's circuits were longer than some of my cross-country's!
Oh - and formation means more than one aircraft!
