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.
Thank you Tony !
''1984''
I remember it like it was yesterday!
It was the winter of 83 that I found out that the 1984 season would be the beginning of the turnaround format,
which was the end of pattern for me !
You can’t rewrite history!
This Classic Pattern forum was started in 2005 at the request of 8178, and it has been a tremendous success. Back when the forum started there was a lot of discussion of just what ''Classic Pattern'' was, and the history of Classic Pattern. Take a look at post (
on page 95, Classic Pattern, post #5) on this thread from 2005.

There may be other threads that discussed the same thing, but this is the first one that discussed it in detail. You can also go to the Classic Pattern listings and hit the >>. It will take you all the way back, then go to page 95...look at post #5
Hope this helps
