Very interesting - I guess you are flying a very tight apporach
pattern, starting very high on downwind, right?

I'm just wonderung, because if we'd do this with the ASK-21 in the
traffic pattern at my home airfield (height at downwind about 650 ft
above ground), we wouldn't even reach the airfield.
