Hi Aucky,
Yes I appeciate the techniques involved with downwind approaches and that the fact the disk doesn't know which way its facing. However my point was originally aimed at the posts refering to the pilots become scared on approach etc, which does not inspire confidence.
I'm not going to get into the other issues with LTE and pilots gripping the Robbie throttle that hard when they tense up that they override the Governor and end up with Low RRPM. Don't shoot me down it does happen!
Having now seen the site (thanks old and horrified!), I would hope that any current pilot could safely make an approach, given the correct conditions.
