At a lot of airports you are in the pattern mixed up with Jets so it
works out best if you fly a similar pattern. A Cessna's pretty damn
slow though.


Right. So if the Cessna does fly a pattern similar to the jet's there's no
way they can mix. To keep the same spacing an aircraft half the speed of
another aircraft must fly a pattern half the total length of that
aircraft's.
