Could have sworn that was in the AIM.

I also found this: http://www.avweb.com/news/features/184492-1.html

Advisory Circular AC 90-66A
"It is recommended that airplanes observe a 1000 foot above ground level (AGL) traffic pattern altitude. Large and turbine powered airplanes should enter the traffic pattern at an altitude of 1,500 feet AGL or 500 feet above the established pattern altitude. A pilot may vary the size of the traffic pattern depending on the aircraft's performance characteristics."

Ok, now that we all have a proper altitude figured out for a pattern in a jet, let's discuss who flys a pattern at uncontrolled fields?

We will have guys say:
1. They fly a jet, so they don't fly patterns, only straight-ins (I have flown with plenty of these guys).
2. Guys will tell you that there is no regulation mandating pattern usage, only guidance so they don't have too (I have flown with these guys too).
3. That it's unsafe to fly a pattern in a jet (yes, heard it too)

"After the aircraft has cleared the active runway."

Its all a matter of opinion, until someone can specifically show it in writing or a letter of interpretation from the FAA legal counsel in DC.

Who here flies a turbine aircraft at uncontrolled airport at 1500', if so why?

Wow. Just Wow.

My opinion is 7642 ft. Just because.

:blush:

Exactly what I was thinking brother, whatever you all do, be safe out there!

As with all policies, there isn't one policy that fits into every situation. However, 99.9% of the time, it is best to clear the runway before doing anything...even flaps. I don't even respond to ATC calls until I've slowed to taxi speed.
