which for most sensible people I'd suggest would be rolling and base calls if doing continuous circuits.
Arm,
Agreed!
But. sadly, in the part of Australia where I reside, the "pingya" system of instruction all too often prevails --- "Make every call, then they can't pingya", and all too often that is the "standard" required in a flight review ---- which the same schools are now describing as a "license renewal".
I am bound to say that, in my opinion, the presentation of the "competencies" to be demonstrated does not encourage that uncommon commodity, common sense.
Tootle pip!!
PS: The overwhelming number of those I talk to support the use of multicom (and not ATC frequencies) for local operations at any airfield that does not have a designated frequency. The exceptions are the "pingya" brigade, who also seen to be dedicated to the "acoustic lift" theory, if you stop talking the aeroplane stops flying.
