Greetings Veruka, I haven't flown the 76, so I'll leave that to Keg, but I also have flown 330 and 744 and quoting from the 744 FCTM...
......Turning base leg, adjust thrust as required while descending at approximately 600-700fpm. Extend landing flaps prior to turning final.....
I guess I must be intepreting it differently.
*No probs Veruka. I only quoted that part of the text because it talks of a base turn and a turn to final, inferring a base leg, if you wish.
**Airbus A380 FCTM/Normal Operations/Visual Approach/Intermediate-Final Approach = Square Base Leg (diagram) Also A330 FCTM 02.140 square base...That pretty much covers 380/330/744 (in theory).
