A much better technique is to fly the extending downwind, base and
maybe even part of final at a 1000' AGL. Once within gliding range, then reduce power.... But you WERE withing gliding range when you were abeam at the 180, if you flew a proper downwind leg. Unless circumstances *force* you to extend the downwind, it is poor practice to do so. vince norris
