Interesting thread.
It seems to me that the rules of the air require a pilot to:
Without prejudice to the provisions of rule 39,a flying machine,glider or airship while flying in the vicinity of what the commander of the aircraft knows or ought reasonably to know to be an aerodrome or moving on an aerodrome,shall unless,in the case of an aerodrome having an air traffic control unit that unit otherwise authorises:
(a)conform to the pattern of traffic formed by other aircraft intending to land at that aerodrome,or keep clear of the airspace in which the pattern is formed;and
(b)make all turns to the left unless ground signals otherwise indicate.
So.... if there is any other traffic at all, a run-and-break is out.
I never have bought the various arguments used relating to the speed and handling characteristics of jets. Perhaps I have been doing visual joins all wrong in my Citation all this time
