We [British] divide the downwind to base turn into two approximately 45 degrees turns, to insert a 'diagonal leg'.


I'm going to give this a try. I don't like the "wait until the touchdown point is 45 degrees behind you before turning base" part of the square pattern training...I can't see the touchdown point then. This BGA method seems like better training for XC outlandings than a square pattern
