Sim,
I think I understand the concept - sounds to me like the 'inside pattern' would get a number of aircraft down in a fairly short span of time? Understandable for military ops.
Sorry to go off on my own tangent here, but once again on my ab initio, I got:
'VH-TOI, enter the circuit obliquely'. Say what? This was of course an 'oblique base', but after only 20 hours of air time, really had me wondering...lol.
Semmern;
a few years later (at least at my local airfield) the procedure was changed by a lot of flight schools (maybe because I pointed things out to staff / instructors?) anyways, my college lecturer who did my commercial studies course literally flayed me for suggesting a new method, mind you, he was an ex Indian air force guy of about 60 who had flown MiG-21s.
