Traffic pattern: For simple calls (such as Circulate, Walk & Dodge, etc.) move directly to your ending footprints.

Sometimes the caller may wish you to start the call in your Butterfly but finish in a normal setup. In these cases the caller will put a suffix such as 'To Normal Waves', 'To A Line', 'To Columns', etc. (e.g., Butterfly Transfer The Column To Normal Waves). EN: 70
