"Brien K. Meehan" wrote in message ... Regardless, a plane flying "to the numbers" from 30 degrees off the downwind side will cross every possible base leg to that runway. It will also cross every possible downwind leg at some point. For example, a plane on downwind set up for a 1/2 mile base leg could collide with the inbound plane 0.866 miles downwind from the numbers. On the other hand, if that inbound plane were to set up for a 5 mile final, there would be no possible conflict for any pattern configuration inside those 5 miles. That's a great reason for a tower controller to ask for it. It's a good reason if she has or anticipates other traffic. |
