Normal approach for TGU and very nicely done.

In Pitot Tube's video, at the 4:58 mark, I prefer to be over the houses slightly to the right. The mound ahead is slightly higher and by offsetting slightly to the right you have an earlier lineup and are descending at a slightly lower sink rate.

The downside is you have to watch out for the house with the tall TV antenna and the passengers on the right DO NOT enjoy the closeup view of the rocks just prior to the area in question.

In DeBate's video the 'slot' over the houses is at the 0:15 mark.

Minor differences. Wider turn, less seperation on the right side, slightly steeper bank in the mid game, to avoid last minute adjustement for lineup.
