I've seen a pilot do a 270 at the base/final turn point. Obviously not
a good idea. Can't imagine someone doing a full 360 while on final.


I don't know if you saw Bruno's recent wheat field outlanding video.

At the start point above, he's going to land in the green field just
past the ploughed one, right to left, towards the trees. He flies a
base (?) leg along the fence (the intended threshold), and then a
continuous right hand 270 onto short final.
