Same caveats as above
Our hero pitch's up at an American Naval Air Base leading some others
Having done a bit of research into American military aviation he has heard that a "pitch to the closed pattern" is the same as a run in and break.
So on contacting tower he asks for a "pitch to the closed pattern"
Tower ask him to repeat the request which he does but tower say they don't understand what he means. As the circuit is empty they clear him for "whatever manoeuvre it was he had in mind. A dangerous thing to say in itself.
Failing to take full advantage of ATC's offer our hero leads a low run in and break. On roll out ATC ask.
ATC "Sir, can you tell us what that manoeuvre is called in your Air Force"
Hero "it's known as a run in and break"
ATC "well you know what Sir, in the United States Navy, we call it the same thing"
It seems pitch to the closed pattern is an US Airforce thing. A little knowledge etc ...
