I've never understood this whole turn to final hype, and I've never
understood why such a reaction should be natural. All my instructors
kept hammering into my head: When in the circuit, never fly below the
yellow triangle (plus half the wind) and always be sure to fly
coordinated. That's what I've been doing since then, and I've never had
any problems.
