Folks,
Actually, out of modesty, I must make an amendment, I was a B767 Check and Training Captain, on the B744, just a line Captain.
Sure, in a standard circuit, I would be about 1500'/1.5nm abeam the runway down wind, or a bit under a mile if it was 1000' AGL, but have you seen some of the cross-country circuits that are being taught. At Camden, they should be getting getting a clearance to re-enter the zone.
Years ago, Avalon, domestics in an F-27 were frequently wider than our circuits. A message here somewhere --- wide circuits have always been a problem in AU, but in my opinion, it is getting worse.
Bloggs,
Unlike some of your complaints in the past, about how hard it is to see traffic in the circuit at 250 kt, we always used minimum speeds in the circuit, so we would be little or no faster than the speeds flown by many light twins in the circuit.
Tootle pip!!
