A circuit typically consists of
– a takeoff
– turning crosswind perpendincular to the runway axis
– establishing a height in the circuit, typically 1000 feet above ground level
– turning downwind, parallel to the runway
– at the end of the downwind leg, turning base, slowing down and applying flap
– turn final with runway dead ahead
– descent to runway, rounding out, flare, clean up and taking off
The last point is called a “touch and go”.
A full landing fee, i.e. you are only doing one full-stop, is often more expensive than a fee for repeated T+Gs.
