Don't you worry about that turn onto downwind thingy Sunny.

You'll only cause pandemonium..Pandimoni...Pandi...Mayhem.


Low level right turn against traffic is asking for trouble in anyones book.

Low level turns in strong winds can give the pilot a few visual illusions, maybe that's what you're thinking.

Or a turn from base to final with a tail wind on base, you will tend to fly through the extended centreline which may lead you to steepen the turn.

thats exactly what I was thinking, but of course I'm merely speculating.

Gawd don't start it here. I would have thought gauntfish would know better!!!

The aircraft moves within the body of air, wind is relative to the ground, the aircraft isn't.

Accidents as correctly pointed out by S2A are simply the result of visual cues leading to over banking and pulling through (thus stalling).

Sunfish was just coming from the "visual cue" angle, I don't think he was suggesting anything silly about turning downwind and losing airspeed.

Just an observation from a previous post re mufflers. Having owned an Auster J1B and a Maule M4, I can assure you that these aircraft were manufactured and sold without mufflers, as were Tiger Moths and a plethora of others. Not having one is not a modification, having one in my case would.

Sorry, back to topic.

Operation of Aircraft Without A Noise Cetificate
 

Cogwheel
Here is the ref you were looking for:
"Permission is hereby given for that aircraft to engage in air navigation without a noise certificate.
Permission is given under Regulation 9A(2)(a) of the Air Navigation (Aircraft Noise) Regulations, i.e. the extent to which the aircraft exceeds the aircraft noise standards is not significant.
This permission does not extend to operation of the aircraft at a curfewed airport during curfewed hours"
Extract from the letter allowing my Experimental aircraft to operate without a noise certificate. This permission must be obtained before a Special Certificate of Airworthiness is issued for an Experimental aircraft.
