I'm just starting a series of reflections on re-entry. Perhaps there are others out there who are beginning the 'downwind leg' as Peter Jordan says.

'Downwind leg' is a flying analogy. It's when you're in the landing circuit taking a good look at the runway and planning your approach. Followed by 'Base leg' where you slow the plane down and line up with the runway, then 'Final leg' where you make fine adjustments and aim for your landing spot.Of course, you have to configure the aircraft properly and communicate with the airport/other aircraft what you're doing too. Don't forget to put your landing gear down or you get this horrible metal against tarmac scraping noise when you touchdown which could ruin your whole day!
