First radio call should be made 5 - 10 miles from the aerodrome and joining checks completed.
Maintain 2000ft above aerodrome elevation or 1000ft above promulagated circuit level (based on QNH

on the left of the aircraft. Report OVERHEAD. Include the appropriate runway if determined. If unable to
ascertain the runway in use continue circling overhead.
When runway and circuit direction are ascertained begin letting down on the dead side. If required, report
DEAD SIDE DESCENDING (Note: Once the circuit direction has been established, all turns must be in
the circuit direction).
Position to cross within the upwind threshold at circuit height.
Watch for aircraft taking off, as they could pose a hazard.
Watch for existing circuit traffi c and adjust your path to sequence safely.
Call downwind.
