I have been shouted at by the CFI coming into a southern coast airfield in my 230knts Vmo twin TP works machine for cutting inside the circuit.

They were doing larger circuits than a CAT aircraft, I honestly thought the traffic I turned inside was departing the circuit. Any way they were already out at 5 miles and I turned inside for 500ft wings level final. At 135knts Vapp I would have had to go out to 7-8 miles with them turning in at 4-5 so I wouldn't catch them up.

Again it this teaching of Pseudo airline ops pish which is screwing things up and people flying 3 degree PAPI approaches with some stabilised approach bollocks in VFR conditions at 1000ft. Obviously nobody has told them that visually in CAT ops you only need to be stabilised at 500ft AGL in visual conditions so they aren't even doing the pseudo airline ops pish correctly.
