Let us start again.

You are obviously looking for help in flying a visual circuit. Good on you.

The trouble is the question you asked suggested you are still at the stage in your piloting experience where you need to fly a visual circuit partly by numbers. That of course is not your fault but in my view it does reflect badly on the system that trained you and put you where you are today.

A lot of PPRuNe members from the earlier generations had the benefit of excellent training which they (now) assume is the minimum that should be accepted today. They are proud of beating the high failure rate among students in the old days. In other words they have good reason for feeling that they were better than those that fell by the wayside (a group BTW that probably included many who did not have an aptitude for judging visual circuits).

But, and it is a very big but, to suggest that the comments of your elders and betters are garbage is a very bad move on your part. It is extremely rude and although I know the concept of rudeness is not in general use in society these days its use in professional circles carries with it a considerable stigma.
