Sounds like a stupid question. Let's say tower says to make a 3 mile base. Not that it makes a huge difference, but does that mean to make a base leg that is 3 miles long or 3 miles away from the runway? If it's to make a 3 mile long base leg, I would have to join the base leg early on, but if it means the latter, I could just make a short, square base leg that is just 3 miles away from the runway.
