You are.
We're probably arguing semantics, but I take Upwind to be the leg, on the deadside (or along the centreline at YTOC), on runway track.
Hey Jabba, perhaps the CAAP is in response to the lowering of standards of pilots/instruction in this area... I don't have a problem with the CAAP; if you know it, then you know all you need to know about how to fly a circuit and interact sensibly with others, CASA-Approved. You won't get that from AIP or the CAR.
