If there is a tower, request a missed approach (for practice is implied) followed by a circuit and full stop landing. The power guys do these (and touch-and-goes) all the time, purely for practice and fun. If there isn't a tower, *tell* the other traffic what you're doing in the same terms. Here in Wellington, I've several times been in a helicopter that did a missed approach (all the way down the 6000 ft runway at 10 ft and 120 knots) purely because that saved several miles going around the airport to get from Cook Strait to the harbour. Hell, as I recall the tower *suggested* that on at least one of those occasions. -- Bruce
