Look at the original question:
Quote:
Then when at circuit hight I cross the upwind numbers in the circuit direction and call 'joining overhead' since at that point I am joining the circuit.
Wrong call, wrong place. You could call Crosswind but it is not necessary so the next call is Downwind obviously when you are Downwind.
I think there is some cross purpose brick wall banging here.
The original question was I believe "where does the overhead join start?"
My reading of it at an uncontrolled A/G field is:- approach from whatever direction at 2000ft (top of the ATZ) having already called whilst outside the zone "Will join overhead from Aunty Mary's place". As you pass overhead the upwind numbers at 2000ft call, G-AB overhead". You have now joined & are now in the "system/circuit" Otherwise there is no such thing as an "OVERhead JOIN" It can only be a "crosswind" or "downwind" or "base leg" Join.
Turn through sufficient degrees in the previously noted circuit direction until you are facing the dead side but still on the live side, cross the active runway numbers at 2000ft & call "decending dead side".
Decend & proceed through 180 degrees to circuit height & then as you cross the upwind numbers at circuit height call "crosswind".
Continue to the downwind turn & abeam the upwind numbers turn & call "Downwind">>>>>
Now, Will that do?
