Sadly the CAA drawing is missing a slight detail and that's the path of aircraft doing circuits. I have seen lots of conflicts between joining aircraft crossing the numbers and turning downwind and circuit bashing traffic already on their downwind leg. What is the general opinion about the best action to take if this happens.

Plan to go behind the aircraft already on the downwing leg? Even if this means you end up going 'upwind' (If you see what I mean)?

Add power and go over the top?

Thoughts anyone?
