Wanna guess how long the extended downwind leg is going to be?
Ah, I did wonder why the scenic tours took place! Now I know!

Seriously, a busy GA Training field on a nice Spring day leads to mayhem as everyone shakes off the Winter cobwebs. Certainly keeps ATC busy! It’s best when in the VCP itself – you get to hear the non-Tx’d comments. Priceless! Quite how ATC keep their sanity is anyone’s guess (and I do use that term loosely!!).

Sitting there watching one of your own students doing Solo Circuits can be a great leveller tho. “H ‘n’ H, did you specifically train Bloggs to try and fly under the powerlines when on Finals or is he just trying to wind me up?!”
