This week’s KNOWLEDGE REFRESHER from @edenflighttraining : The Overhead Join Overhead joins are sometimes precluded or varied by airspace or traffic constraints. You must check the local procedures for the aerodrome you are visiting. OVERHEAD: Maintain 2000ft above aerodrome height (or as specified by the aerodrome) and observe windsock and traffic. Keep aerodrome a suitable distance from the left of the aircraft. Call “G-XXXX OVERHEAD JOINING FOR RUNWAY ........ Begin letdown on DEAD SIDE if safe. If you are unable to ascertain runway in use, continue circling in the overhead. When circuit direction is ascertained call “G-XXXX DESCENDING DEAD SIDE” Position to cross at (or within if no other activity) the UPWIND end of the runway at circuit height (check aerodrome information or, if in doubt contact the airfield and ask the question, writing on your kneeboard for reference). WATCH FOR AIRCRAFT TAKING OFF, AS THEY COULD POSE A HAZARD. CROSSWIND LEG: Watch for existing circuit traffic and adjust your path to sequence safely. Call “G-XXXX CROSSWIND RUNWAY ..........” DOWNWIND LEG: Carry out usual Downwind checks (C B U M F I L C H). Call “G-XXXX DOWNWIND RUNWAY ..........” BASE LEG: Call “G-XXXX LEFT / RIGHT BASE RUNWAY ..........” FINAL: Call “G-XXXX FINAL RUNWAY .......... TO LAND / TOUCH AND GO”. Carry out Final Approach / Pre Landing Checks (C R A P).
