Then I hope you won't take my offer of a free biennial next July. I expect a
person to fly the same pattern from Anchorage to Dallas, no matter whether they
are the only person in the pattern or #25 to land.

Certainly we can make allowances for situations, but if you are saying that you
make different patterns when you are alone in the pattern, I'd suggest another
instructor. I certainly won't sign you off.

shared these priceless pearls of wisdom:

-
-This is the standard procedure for entering a pattern.
-
-Over the years, though, I've found that my pattern entry procedure varies
-with conditions. If I'm alone in the pattern (as we often are, on a
-Wednesday afternoon -- a day we typically fly), I'll zip around the pattern
-at whatever speed works to get me down soonest.
