Spitoon raising an interesting point, in that the AIP is slightly at odds with the quoted MATS Pt 1.

It says that pilots should select 7000 A/C except when remaining in the aerodrome traffic pattern.

On a normal arrival, as opposed to a circuit detail, I wouldn't consider switching off my transponder until I was on the ground (unless requested otherwise), even if I were flying a full circuit.
