3 or more aircraft in the circuit, Andrew? Sounds scary.
Mock if you like, I was just pointing out that your comments:

how much time have you actually spent flying in and out of non-controlled aerodromes?

lots and lots of nothing going on out there at non-controlled aerodromes, punctuated by the occasional flurry of entirely mundane and easily manageable activity.
doesn't apply to all locations.

I did say 3 was quiet - that's a number that is pretty easily manageable. 5+ starts to get difficult. 3 or 4 inbound from different directions with ETAs within a minute or 2 also gets interesting - not least because the radio starts to get congested when they all to work out where the other aircraft are.

It wasn't me that decided that the high performance aircraft would do 1500' circuits. I just try to keep clear. If you want to arrive at 1500' don't let me stop you - it's your decision.
