	Circuit (airfield) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		At an airfield, the circuit ("Pattern" in the USA) is a conventional standard path for coordinating air traffic that is taking off and landing, as opposed to a practice of so-called "straight in approaches" and "direct climb outs".
		Airfield operators will set up circuits according to the runway in use, the local conventions for noise abatement or other ground features, and the current usage of the airfield.
		The use of a circuit at airfields is for safety - rather than have aircraft flying around the field in a haphazard fashion, by using a circuit pilots will know where to expect other air traffic from, and be able to see it and avoid it.

	Circuit Planning
		The reason for flying a circuit is to make your approach to a landing predictable for other traffic while making sure you reach a point in the sky for the final turn at a safe height, distance and speed - with an alternative landing area in mind.
		You should be able to see the airfield's windsock(s) in order to decide the landing direction and the side on which to perform the circuit so that you are flying into the wind as much as possible in the latter stages and the landing.
		As you approach the circuit, before you start it and the pace of life quickens, is a good time to perform the pre-landing checks.

	Airfield series circuit communications lighting system and method - Patent 5926115 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Airfield lighting control systems have been developed to avoid incursions onto an active runway or taxiway, thereby reducing the likelihood of collisions between aircraft, especially during conditions of low visibility.
		The airfield series circuit consists of a plurality of series-connected current isolation transformers, respective secondary windings of the transformers are connected to various load devices, such as lamps, but may also include devices such as microwave presence sensors.
		A circuit produces a square wave at the cathode of D12 with a lower limit of +10 V and an upper limit of +20 V. During the positive phase of the square wave, current flows through D13 to develop a potential of approximately +18 V across capacitor C19.

	Arriving at Airfields in VFR Conditions (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		At airports and airfields that are not too busy, a standard method of joining the traffic pattern for landing is in operation.
		The circuit height is normally 1000ft above the airfield and the pilot fly's the legs at this height except the base and final.
		Then descend in an s turn to circuit height and join in the crosswind leg from the dead side at 1000ft for crosswind and downwind leg.

	Cessna Course Flying the Circuit
		Most circuits are left hand but due to built up areas or terrain some airfields do have right hand patterns.
		If for example your runway heading is 270 then if you was doing a left hand circuit then look to the compass 9 o clock position, the crosswind leg is 180 the downwind leg is 090 the 6 O clock position the base leg is north in the three o clock.
		The side of the airfield the circuit is on is known as the live side and the side away from the circuit is known as the dead side.

	Airport - Information
		A military airport is known as an airbase in North American terminology (other countries may use the term airfield or air station in current parlance or aerodrome in 1930s parlance).
		Generally, this pattern is a circuit consisting of five "legs" that form a rectangle (two legs and the runway form one side, with the remaining legs each form another side).
		Commercial airfields include one or more emergency vehicles and their crew that are specially equipped for dealing with airfield accidents, crew and passenger extractions, and the hazards of highly flammable airplane fuel.

		There, not only airfield traffic circuits were done, but we also practiced still some other kinds of the things a pilot has to know, these were the low-speed flight, to fly turns (curves) with different turn rates (inclination) etc...
		This time, the "chief instructor" was flying together with me again: at first, I flew traffic circuits at the airfield for about 20 minutes, and afterwards, again it was the time for "the most beautiful part" in the life of a student pilot: another solo-flight.
		As a reconciliation for it, I flew airfield traffic circuit in Herzogenaurach and was able to practice approaches during stormy wind, and it is not bad to train such a thing under realistic conditions.

	Eshott Airfield
		Flying from Eshott started in November 1942 when the airfield was developed as a training facility for Spitfire Aircraft; at this time some 2000 people were accommodated on the site.

	Go around - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The term arises from the traditional use of circuits at airfields—a landing aircraft will first join the circuit pattern and prepare for landing in an orderly fashion.
		If for some reason the pilot decides not to land, he can simply fly back up to circuit height, and complete another circuit—in other words, go around again.
		The term go-around is still used even for modern airliners, that do not use traditional circuit patterns for landing, although they are typically assigned a set path to follow in the event of a go around.

		Harewood was the premier circuit in Canada until Westwood was opened in 1959.
		After the first season, some detioration of the runways forced the circuit to be reduced to 2.45 miles.

		At this meeting, the drivers reported the circuit to be quite bumpy, although the general opinion was that it compared well with the other circuits in use south of the border.
		Indeed, it was at Charterhall that Jim Clark saw his first motor race, and he would later spend much of his racing career at the circuit, competing in 31 events at the venue.

		Although modern cars are built to withstand stresses above those that they will experience on the road, standard production cars are not built with track work in mind.
		Make sure you remove everything from the boot of the car too, in some cases this means the spare wheel also, there is always somewhere to keep things at an event, while you are on the track (remember that neither the circuit or easytrack can take responsibility for belongings so leave that PC at home!).
		Under NO circumstances will you be allowed back on the track, it’s a silly mistake and risks stopping track activity for others.

	Evaluation of Airfield Lighting Circuit Performance - Storming Media
		Abstract: New requirements for airfield guidance signs have necessitated replacement and purchase of a large number of airfield signs.
		In the process manufacturers have developed new designs for airfield signs using current technology for the illumination and control.
		The evaluations showed that the source of the electrical problems was the incompatibility between the signs and the constant current regulators.

		Jimmy Jones claimed 1st place for Swindon RC in the Western Division Criterium Championship at the Colerne Airfield Circuit, Jones used his tactical awareness to control the 4 man break that escaped the rest of the field midway through the 60km race.
		With 2 laps of the 5km circuit to go Jones was tempted to attack but soon realised he might need his breakaway companions to unknowingly help him to victory, with the finish line in sight David Baker (Ciclos Uno-PCA) took off in full flight and put a gap into the following riders.
		Swindon RC`s Crispin Doyle outsprinted his 2 breakaway companions after 60 km on the Colerne Airfield Circuit, dissapointed by just missing the winning break the previouse week Doyle made no mistake in taking control of the 3 man break and taking 1st place for a `Swindon RC double` at Colerne Airfield.
