Approach flaps should be used until turning CTL base or final, in the "slot," and final descent has begun.
- so what do you say to

Let's say it's a sea-level airport, our TAS at 1000ft will be 173kt, and the radius of the turn will be 1.2nm——more than half of 2.3nm!! that means we can not make a 180° turn within the protective area while we start our continuous turn to the final!
How should it be flown to stay in the terps zone?
