Chaps,
What are your thoughts on the Standard
rejoin being used at a controlled airfield ?
At the moment I work at an airfield (outside the UK) where the controllers normally put traffic on left and right downwinds depending on where the traffic is approaching from.
Local management wants them to introduce the standard rejoin to control circuit traffic.They are not happy with this
as generally they feel it is not as efficient as the method they are employing .Some aspects of it they don't like for instance traffic converging over the field at 2000ft ,
traffic crossing upwind end of active at 800ft with VFR departure supposed to stop climb at 500ft etc....
I understand that in the UK this standard rejoin is used alot but it is not that well established in this country.
Your thoughts?
Bye.
