This thread was about a very unfortunate incident where a crash has occurred and someone has died as a result. Not good.
As I read through, and contributed, the thread has become a discussion on aerodrome/pattern procedures, some of which are appearing slightly alien to me, and whilst I witness a lot of what I am reading, some contributors appear to totally misunderstand the arrival/depart sequence at GA airfields.
The thought of someone in a high performance, high climb aeroplane, as a matter of course, blasting up through a crosswind join procedure, and then wondering why there was an airprox, gives me the shudders. I stated in an earlier post, fine, if circuit inactive, no one about, great. If the circuit is active then, clear intentions to all and sundry about what you are about to do, is/should be mandatory. The process is there for safety, of all.
A high performance climb out could be considered an aero manoeuvre in some
circles
