Scenario: Non-towered airport. You depart RWY 15 for a left downwind departure then to the west. Multiple landing traffic from the east entering left base RWY 15. Additional traffic entering on long straight-in final RWY 15.
You announce you will level off at airport elevation plus 600' and extend downwind to fly under and behind landing traffic. Just before turning left base you see landing traffic same altitude at your 3 o'clock, 200 yards.
Would you a) have climbed through the TPA or, b) stayed below TPA? Explain.
Right turn after departure RWY 15 is not an option.
