"Rolling" or "Roller" is a military phrase for a Touch and Go. Even the military have now changed to "Touch and Go".

It is deceidely worrying the number of non standard ways put forward in this thread of flying a circuit, to say nothing of the non standard home grown radio calls.

A circuit should be flown in the Standard manner with the published radio calls and GOOD LOOKOUT. If the circuit is non standard the differences will be published.

Many of us have seen aircraft going the wrong way in a circuit; that is a good reason for joining correctly, i.e. a standard overhead join where you can observe what is going on, and avoid the dangerous situation of joining directly and getting it wrong. If everyone flew a correct size circuit others would see them and know what they are doing.

Don't extend downwinnd, if you can't get in Go-Around and reposition downwind.
