Just curious, Chapter 13 of what? Not to mention it says "within 300 of pattern altitude", not "at 300 below pattern altitude". Also the publication you linked says to turn final at least 1/4 mile from the runway. Yes you can be further, but again, have respect for the rest of the pilots out here. If no one is in the pattern, great, knock yourselves out. But when there are five or more here, the world is not your oyster, and keep it tight.
By the way, we have had numerous pilots from your company come to us for various training. They have informed us of your policies. Which are fine, they just don't jive with what most of us are doing out here.
And yes, see the forest brother. There is more to flying then just following the memorized checklist. Change up your skills to deal with whatever given situation presents it's self.
If you do not recognize the publication that I was reffering to, then this discussion has no ground. Looks like you like to just be feisty and accuse other schools.
300 ft below or whithin is still what that publication says, and no matter how you put it , do not come to 400 ft agl as you posted.
i was trying merrely to explain about why does it looks a "large" pattern to you. Again i do not want to start a war here but, think about the differences in speed between what wefly and what you fly.
Turning base at least 1/4 of a mile, for your info we turn base 30 sec after passing the threshold which puts us at 0.79NM, again think about differences in speed.
Pilots from our company comming to you for various training, allow me to DO not belive that. All our IP are required to have CFIA, CFII and MEI at the date of hire; maybe the one comming to you where the washouts( yes our standardization dep. if kinda tough)
My whole post until now was, to try to show you that even we fly for Lufthansa, we still respect all US laws and airspace, and instill the same in our students.
Regarding the forrest, I humbly suggest that you look to the little pin in yours.
I do not belive that I need to change my skills to deal...If "numerous pilots " from our company train to you, maybe they also informed you about the flight times that our instructors have in a very diverse enviroment , not limited to flight instructing only.
Maybe in your windom you can let us know what airport we are talking about, we will analize the situation and make the necessary corrections to our policies. I can not guarante that will please you or a specific group , but rest assured they will comply with all local, goverment and federal regulations. Can youdo the same at your company?
Cheers.
