•It is easy to make the base leg too close
because:-
a)The field is probably small compared with
your home airfield
and relatively speaking your base leg looks correct although it is actually too close (similarly
High Key, above)
b)At Dunstable our base legs are usually rather
close anyway because
of topographical features
c)At Dunstable we tend to learn circuits off
the winch – which are
usually therefore too low and close-in !!!
