• For a safe landing we must: -
o Break off the flight – terminate soaring
o Have a suitable landing area and pattern
o Configure the aircraft for landing
o Set up a final approach path with a safe margin over obstacles.
• The purpose of the circuit is to arrive at the final turn in the right place, at a safe height (at least 300ft AGL) and speed, and with safe alternatives always available.
• At an airfield it has the further purpose of setting up an orderly flow of traffic.
