Question from a new flight student (whopping 7 hours!)

I'd never trust the AF/D either. I've gone to too many airports where the
information is incorrect (or where nobody does what the book says they do).
One example, GBR's TPA is not correct as listed (or rather, as "not" listed -
it may have been corrected as I sent the info to the FAA). Now the TPA is
fairly important; somebody who's right where you are but above (or below) you
by a few hundred feet could make your approach interesting. Ask me how I know.

I use Flight Guide, nicer format. Of all the info I look at TPA isn't
ever one of them. I'm going to 1000 feet.

This would put you at the wrong altitude at a great deal of airports.
Doesn't causing a safety hazard bother you?

Well that's just a pathetic shame. I feel for those you may endanger
by lacking regard of the rules we all abide by: And that you were
trained under!

Yeah right. I'm at 1000 AGL, meanwhile there's idiots flying over the
airport at pattern altitude then leaving so they can get on their
precious 45 degree entry. Sorry your argumaent doesn't hold water.

Why would you leave the pattern to perform a 45 entry? At least my
argument makes sense.

You're kidding right? You would not believe what some people go thru to
go out and get back on that 45.

Something you may not know: many airports have more than one published
traffic pattern altitude. If you are depending on all the other airplanes
flying the same pattern and same altitude as you are, you are the one
creating a safety hazard.
