Down wind starts from to other end of the runway at a height of 300m. There you do your radio notice: ”Glider xxxx Downwind 30L asfalt or gras”. After that you are not allowed to circle or look for thermals!
Downwind and base airspace must be left free for landing gliders.
Plan your arrival from a X-country flight so that you have minimum height of 300m AGL at the beginning of down wind.
Tow planes may often use right hand circuits when landing.
