I am now well into flying the circuits at Goodwood, building up experience and practice in takeoffs and landings. The circuit is a rectangular flying pattern around the airfield involving the takeoff,climb,turn onto crosswind leg,then fly onto downwind leg (parallel to the runway in use),turn onto base leg,begin descent, one final turn onto final leg to line up with the runway followed by the landing(hopefully a smooth one!). I'm finding circuits hard work but good fun, and there's always some progress with each lesson, which is encouraging.
