SSD and Beethoven - I'm a very newly qualified pilot at EGCB and often wonder whether I'm annoying anyone behind me when flying the "taught" circuit pattern. I must admit, my natural instinct is to turn base earlier. But without anything to compare with, I don't know whether my circuit pattern would be considered too wide or not! If I've turned base for 27 and have the Trafford Centre in my 11 o'clock... what would you say?
