Just a somewhat uneducated guess...

You were inbound to an airport and talking to tower. Would it have been
too
much trouble to simply key the mic and tell the controller that you were
having spacing problems on the Cherokee, and ask for permission to do your
360's?

Regardless of regulations, regardless of responsibility, isn't tower
providing sequencing at that point? Common sense would tell you that under
those circumstances, if everyone of the aircraft simply started flying
whatever path they wanted to would be an extremely dangerous situation.


The tower established the sequence when he told the Cessna to follow the
Cherokee at his 11 o'clock. From that point on the Cessna is to do what's
necessary to follow the Cherokee.
