What annoys me is pilots or ask to join left/right base or long final when the circuit is active with 2 or more aircraft. I,ve never asked any of the above unless i know the circuit is quiet.
At some airfields you may well be told to do just that.
Are some folk expecting all traffic including something like a big multi engined aircraft to carry out an overhead join? Surely not. It's a big wide world out there and unfortunately it just doesn't happen like that.
