the airport I use is uncontrolled. lots of training going on. lots of planes staying in the pattern. looking for suggestions on what visual picture you are looking for or thoughts going thru your mind when multiple planes in the pattern and staying in the pattern with touch and goes (downwind/base/final) and planes behind you waiting and you are trying to get off the ground.

those on the ground were literally in a catch 22 with the 3 or 4 aircraft staying in the pattern doing touch and goes, where the perfect opening was not occurring. by the time the plane on final landed and was back in the air, another aircraft was back on final.

thoughts on how to stay safe, but not get evil radio calls from those behind you yelling "any day now!!!"
