A closer reading of my post would show that I pointed out that VFR circuit flying doesn't really need an altimeter at all,

Time we scrapped published circuit heights as well then. Fun flying in the circuit with four or five others. All guessing.

That is what is known in philosophy as a non-sequitur aka silly idea

But not quite as silly as yours ??.

Eg if there's a jet below you and a microlight above you then you might guess that someone hasn't got it quite right

That would probably be a lot safer than everyone flying at the same height/altitude

until short final!

This is getting as bad as the Downwind turn thread over the road.

For those not familiar with the Jargon, 'Course' is the track over the ground.
'Heading' is the way the front of the aircraft is pointing. "

Speaking of which...
Is Farmer Marjocock still active over there?
Bet he doesn't use QFE either...
Waddaya think, Rob P?

If we're all agreed to disagree, how about I start a thread on the relative merits of pitch for speed or point and power on final approach?
