In the time i spent flying out of derby, there was never a traffic problem that couldnt be sorted out over the radio. And that was with the Eagle boys, the bushflight guys and the broome av blokes all flying into the same place. Never had a problem.
And can anyone help me out with the reference to the section forbidding a circuit join on base.
I've found AIP ENR 1.1 - 86 (64.5.1) but that doesn't say joining the circuit on base is illegal, but only recommends ways of joining the circuit.
"Entry to the circuit depends upon the direction of arrival and traffic conditions. The recommended methods for entering the circuit are as follows:"
And for the record, it doesnt recommend a straight in approach, which we all know is legal. So just because it doesnt recommend it, doenst mean its illegal.
