taught it myself afterwards and disliked it always.....)
hardly the best way to learn it then - find a good flying instructor who knows and can teach it well!
Never mind the system being used, I have witnessed some pretty appalling instances of a/c joining the circuit.
Some visitors seem to have little comprehension of the status of A/G asking "Am I
clear for...etc" and then seem unable to fly an OHJ which is surely part of the PPL syllabus.
Before we start debating the merits of different types of join we should take steps to ensure that all know how to join the circuit whatever system is in use.
No comment on this tragic incident as we don't know the facts as yet.
