I just wish they were honest from the beginning. Feel free to give me the time the GPS/FMC says for the "Foxtrot" waypoint but at least tell me that's what it is.... five miles away is not "The Circuit."
I don't know why people don't just scroll down to position Mike, that's what I do, you can't get a more accurate estimate than that!

On the sublect of circuit entry, I always try and fit in with those around me and nearly always fly a five mile final (where practical). If I am conflicting with traffic using the opposite (in to wind runway), I will always let that traffic go first!

It's not really that hard, is it?
