Nice attitude. I wish others took that line.

Over the past weeks (and I assume this is because people are out of practice), we've had stand-up rows with other pilots whose airmanship on joining is lacking.

Just because you are in a particular part of the circuit, it does not guarantee that you won't be cut up. One or two of said pilots seem to assume that a/g airfields actually sequence landings.

Try Popham on an event day. It's great for practicing go-rounds.

Oh, and if someone does call long finals at our field, they are advised to give way to circuit traffic.
