I was instructing in a Beech Baron. The day's flight was nearly complete, and we were finishing up with a few VFR circuits to practice landing in various configurations, using Runway 31 at the Hutchinson (Kan.) Municipal Airport (HUT), a towered facility. Turning crosswind, I heard a Cessna Citation, also on a training flight, check in with the tower a mile outside the final approach fix for the VOR Runway 4 procedure, requesting a low approach. Very familiar with the airport and its aproaches, I knew the Cessna jet would quickly descend from 3000 feet to 2040 feet MSL a few miles out, flying southwest to northeast across the airport. As the field elevation at HUT is 1542 feet, our downwind would be flown at about 2500 feet, providing 500 feet of separation as we overflew the jet on our downwind. Sure enough, as we turned downwind at pattern altitude, the tower called the traffic and told us it would underfly us at midfield. I saw the Cessna's landing lights, already below us.
