Not sure if I selected the correct forum but are there any tricks/techniques how to fly a visual approach ouf of a non standard position, if you cannot join and enter the downwind pattern but have to fly it "freestyle"? In my younger days we flew what nowadays I'd call "Wild West Visuals". Normally hot and high, throwing everything out to get a good ROD to be stabilized when turning inbound at the OM. No Briefing, just feeling and reacting, "whatever it takes". Then I switched to an Airbus fleet. Visuals were trained now out of a downwind position (1500ft, abeam, etc).
But what if I am in a position where I cannot join the downwind? Are there any "techniques" you use?
Thanks in advance
