:yup: please forgive the ignorance, but what game was that?
 
You're VFR, I don't really care what your altitude is. Of course, I'm in a Class D so I don't have much in the way of separation responsibility with VFR traffic. I'll tell you about other people that may be in conflict with your flight path, don't hit them please.

And though "I'll call your base" isn't in the phraseology in the .65, "extend <pattern leg>" is. And if I say "extend downwind" without specifying for how long, it's essentially saying "I'll call your base." Otherwise you'd just be on a downwind for eternity.

Well, that's bad phraseology from the book. I understand when you say you'll call my base, but if you just say "extend down", I would have to come back with "How far?" So your homemade deviation from the book standard is an improvement, IMHO.

Yeah, and that's why I normally choose to say both. Have to say the part from the book, and I choose to say the additional verbiage when I know it will improve comprehension.

Though if the extension is going to be brief, I have used only "extend downwind" without trouble. However if clarification were ever needed, it's no trouble to specify a bit.
