REASONED JUDGEMENT WHICH WAY TO LAND OR WATCH
FOR CIRCUIT ACTIVITY.
Usually, if there is no wind, R/W 28 L/H is
in use due to its longer approach. It is possible
that the direction of take-off and landing may
not coincide if only one aircraft is operating
on air experience flights in nil wind or 90
deg crosswinds.

of the base leg. The downwind leg is a line

at the west end of the strip. near the rigging
area. Please clear the runway to the north and
use the taxiway on the north side of the wild

take-off, flexwing pilots should stop on the
taxiway and lower their runway side wing so
as not to distract the pilot who may be a low
airtime student.
