1 viewOct 1, 2026

You have joined the circuit. You follow the calls from downwind to leaving the runway: circuit reports, orbits and an extended downwind, the landing clearance, continue approach and vacating.

What you learn

  • Report downwind, base and final, callsign first
  • Fly an orbit or extend downwind when Tower asks
  • Read back the landing clearance with the runway
  • Tell continue approach from a landing clearance
  • Report runway vacated once past the holding point
