    Geebigs, shame on you. I expect better from the aviation community and I certainly look to my aviation peers to provide balanced, fair and responsible well-mannered responses. That graphic is no way implies that a no fly zone in included in the pattern, but that flying beyond the centerline of runway (in this case the airport is clearly diagramed for left traffic 27, in which case, there would be an AIM recommended no fly area beyond the runway centerline — in the area of ground traffic, the tower, etc. I believe everyone should and does have an option, but delivery and respect are so utterly important. Making vividness claims to avoid something based on a single graphic seems a little overbearing. With respect to the community, and you, have a good day.

    No such thing as a No Fly Zone in the pattern. If they are teaching bogus concepts like in that diagram then the school is to be avoided. And flattening a turn in the pattern is the proper technique to avoid steep bank angles and high load factors at low speeds.
