TW -- while I admit that the vast majority of my time is in turbine aircraft --- I am also proud of the fact that I remember where I started and continue to fly GA aircraft. Indeed, I own an Arrow that I fly for fun. And I checked my log book --- and have about 680 hours SEP time. So I'm not exactly a beginner when it comes to flying aircraft with noisy fans on the pointed end.
I repeat once again, that my comments on circuit profile were directed at Cessna and Piper drivers --- not warbirds, not Tiger Moths, not 1940s Cubs.
Those of you who favour steep approaches with major power/attitude transitions required seem to be ignoring the overwhelming stats that clearly show that 50 hour/year GA pilots have trouble remaining proficient at this. They would be much better served by "controlled/stabilised approaches".
If you want to talk about carrier ops (which I haven't done in 12 years), I'd be delighted to explain how it is really done. Think there are some fundamental misunderstandings ---- but let's stick to GA for now.
