Where did you get the cessna 152?

You should keep your patterns way tighter than that. You should be flying about half mile downwind LEGS. If the engine quit when you were out there on your 747 base LEG you would not have made the runway or the airport property for that matter.

five stars?

@korriaa1984 I may have been taught differently because i'm from Canada but this worked perfectly in my clubs 172.

@jvandervalk Yes I know the post was old, but that needed correct horribly!

@DSX58 then suicide

@jvandervalk That all depends on the airfield. Standard practice for the airfield I learned at was a pattern altitude of 900' MSL. Getting to that altitude before the downwind leg depended on temperature and humidity. On the downwind leg, when the aircraft was even with the runway numbers for the runway we were landing on, to pull power back to 1800 RPM and set the first 10* of flaps. After turning to base we would set the next 10* of flaps, and then on final we set the final 10* of flaps.

@Cessna154 This is incorrect and very dangerous, do you know that helicopters fly their pattern at a lower altitude than fixed wing and sometimes farther out, a beginner pilot could easily descend too much and collide.

You should reach 1000' AGL and level off before turning downwind. Also it is not correct practice to use flaps or begin descent until on base leg.

In the United States, it is very commonly taught that on downwind and nearing the 45 degree mark from the runway that a notch of laps and a slight descent is acceptable. Take a look around the net at student pilot websites.

You made a mistake on the annotation and said 5 starts. Great tutorial by the way.
