My gosh, an honestly new idea (at least to me). In my book, that
qualifies as #7. It would not be my first choice, but if you allow
yourself get to the point where your best choices are behind you, the
270 degree turn from base to final could be the better of several bad
options.


My choice, given this situation. would be one or more figure 8's with
all turns toward the runway. In a 270, the first third of the turn is
heading away from the runway - not good down low if you hit unexpected
sink.

But would you prefer a figure 8 to a 270 in something with as low a roll
rate as an ASW22 or ASH25?
