As a relatively low-hour PPL contemplating flying to a number of different airfields this weekend, can I check how everyone flies a standard circuit?
I'm used to my homefield, where we fly a 750' aal circuit with a relatively short final approach. For that I aim to be turning final at about 500' aal.
For airfields with a 1000' aal circuit, are you guys doing the same thing, but therefore losing 500' on base leg? Does that mean you fly a larger circuit pattern as a result?
Grateful for your input as always and here's to CAVOK, no haze and gentle breazes!
