Foxmoth, not sure discussing it is any more dangerous than leaving the thought of the tighter the better?
That aside, it wasn't so much how tight can it be done I was after, what I was actually interested in was what is a typical normal circuit for a SEP? IE how steep is a normal SEP approach, if not 3 degrees?
I have never considered the actual approach angle before, just relied on the picture.
Playing with some rough numbers:
1 mile out at 500ft would give approx. 4.7 degrees
.75 miles out at 500ft would give approx. 6.3 degrees
Comments?
