Case 1 pattern times

If you're too long in the groove you risk a wave off or a low grade, but what if you're very wide on the down wind leg? This could add several seconds even if your groove time is good which must affect any plane or flight behind you.

Just curious as I'm usually between 1.2 and 1.4 nm from the boat, but occasionally get it wrong and end up wider.

I think you get waved off if you're too far away.

Thank you that's what I thought. But would the LSO give the wave off when you're behind the boat or would you get a call while you're still on the down wind?

I'm getting wave off if I'm too high, but thats how I land... I used to get 2 wire every time now I'm getting to high and fast 4 wire
