Most likely, the controller would make the upwind guy extend his
upwind, then have him follow me.

And what happens if the controllers attention is aimed somewhere
else for a moment or he just plan screws up? It is the pilots
responsibility to see and avoid traffic. I'd do exactly what Andrew
suggested.


Class D controllers are not responsible for in-air separation, they're
responsible for runway separation. If you expect them to sort it out
for you, you're basically taunting Darwin.


Watch your trimming Paul. I wrote the second paragraph not the first.


That's obvious from the level of '' indentation.
