Answer 2

1 000ft

Question 3

On final approach, the height above ground level should be -

Answer 3

500ft

Question 4

Base leg should be commence approximately -

Answer 4

at the 8’o clock position

Question 5

Departure procedure options for the circuit?

Answer 5

1. Depart from extended upwind
2. Turn crosswind and depart from there, but only in the general direction which the crosswind line points.
3. Join downwind and climb 2000ft(which will be above circuit alt) and depart any direction.

Question 6

Joining procedure options for the circuit?

Answer 6

1. Join downwind leg at circuit height(2 000ft), provided you have descended to circuit height well before entering the circuit area.
2. Overfly at 2 000ft and start the descent to circuit height on the dead side of the field, be at circuit height over the upwind threshold and join downwind.

Question 7

The joining altitude is?

Answer 7

2 000ft
