Your channel is awesome keep it up

@tracysmithppasel I like "pilot-controlled". Going to add that to my vocab. My instructor stressed that we fly at a controlled airport (Class G/E), just one that happens to be "untowered".
-
I too always call left crosswind. However, I don't think the first leg after takeoff is the upwind leg. Upwind would be to the right of the runway on your diagram. The first leg is called Departure Leg. Important at my airport which can get crazy busy on the weekends. Pilots on final often abort for departing traffic and will announce "sidestepping to upwind". Then the planes in the pattern (often 4 or 5) will work out the spacing on the upwind & crosswind legs. Just how I was trained. YMMV.

@737pilot7 I just noticed that you watch this two. It helps when doing videos.

J, can you post the vid of "pivotal height/reversal height" for turn and descend on final aproach please.

A few suggestions:
- "Red & White Cessna", for instance, is a much more useful description than "Skyhawk 12345" when operating at a PILOT-CONTROLLED airfield (note the change in terminology here. More later). No one really cares about your tail number - I want to know what I'm searching for in the pattern.
- We fly in PILOT-CONTROLLED airfields. We need to stress to the general public we do NOT fly 'uncontrolled'. It's public relations.

You are not alone, Jason. I call turnout, or 'left crosswind' if remaining in the pattern as well. I'll call 'midfield left downwind' to help other pilots and give them a place to look. I'll also call 'TURNING base' or 'TURNING final' because with wings at an angle I'm presenting a better visual picture to whoever is looking for me. And if someone is holding short I'll also call 'short final' and maybe even ask the pilot holding short to acknowledge. Can't be too sure that you were heard....
