Default RE: The CPA (Classic Pattern Association) and E-power

Turnaround in pattern started in 1984 in F3A. It didn't migrate to all the AMA classes until much later. But airplanes like the Aurora, Jekyll, Beetle, etc, were designed for turnaround in F3A. Just wanted to clear that up. Personally, I believe "Classic" pattern should be one maneuver per pass.
