We have the same problem at our local airport, flying school training using a twelve mile circuit, almost everyone else flys a normal circuit that is eight miles.
The mileage is easy to figure by measuring it on the airport chart.
Now can anyone tell me why there are to many checks going on in training airplanes to teach normal circuits?
I just can't figure out why these flying schools cannot teach students to fly proper circuits that will not screw up everyone else who are unfortunate enough to arrive at the airport while these people are flying.
