Begin letdown on
dead side if safe.

If unable to ascertain
runway in use continue
circling around the overhead.
When circuit direction is
ascertained

call “Overhead,

joining for runway...”

(All turns must then be in
the circuit direction.)

Correct circuit procedures assist
you to see and be seen, thus
reducing the risk of collision.

an “overhead” join will always be
preferable, especially if the
aerodrome is unfamiliar,
but beware of other activity.

If no other procedure is published,
