Agreed, it is a pain not to "enjoy" the visual circuits, but, given the (lack of) experience of those conducting them, I don't know how much is devoted to "enjoying" the experience vs , just getting it right.
As others have said, the purpose of the exercise is to make visual final app & ldg, not to learn visual circuits, as you will thereafter be discouraged from daring to do that again.
Very often , "students" are encouraged to make the approach fairly short anyhow (if they are up to it) on nice days, to get it all done in the minimum airborne time poss, to save them (
) money.
This being the case, a visual segment from 700' down to & including the all important landing, would seem to satisfy the requirement.
Think this thread is started by someone not too familiar with the purpose of the exercise (shyte -stirring where Ryanair is concerned being par for the course, but, lets instead discuss social payments if we want to have something bad that we can justify, AND benefit from)
