Hi guys, recently on a flight i encountered an aircraft that was performing touch and goes with a tailwind (around 15 knots)
at a non-towered aerodrome. After i arrived overhead and made the required calls on the local CTAF i stated that i would continue circling 500 ft above the circuit height until he departed or landed as i would require to land in the opposite direction
due to wind. After circling for approximately 20 min (aircraft was continuing to perform touch and goes with a tailwind) and issuing a call every now and then i decieded to give up and fly to my alternate as i needed to refuel. At this stage there was a further 2 aircraft circling with me wanting to land. Just interested to know what other people would do in this situation
