Chapter 13.1
Objectives
To know the exact names of the different segments within the aerodrome circuit
To be able to name and report on a real circuit each particular segment of a standard circuit
The Standard Circuit

- Position
- Length
- Height above the aerodrome reference point (AAL)
- Distance from the runway or reference points to the landing surface
