Baires, that is called a "closed pattern", but should only be flown in a high performance aircraft. The idea is to stay low after liftoff, accelerate in ground effect and then pitch up and turn hard (usually 2Gs) 180 degress, level off downwind (beside the runway) and then turn a tight turn back to the runway and land. It's the smallest traffic pattern, lots of fun to fly in a small jet like the Tutor (Canada's SNOWBIRDS demonstration team fly that). But it's not supposed to be done in a passenger aircraft....it scares the krhop out of the passngers (investors?), but lots of fun for the pilot.
Tighten your seatbelts, if DW decides to fly Tyhee like a fighter!
