17. Ground Reference Maneuvers Flashcards
When flying along a road, the wind from the right:
Will cause the airplane to drift to the left of the road.
In order to fly parallel next to a straight road with a crosswind coming from the side, you must:
Point the aircraft into the wind to offset its effect.
A line drawn from one point to another on a chart is called:
The course.
The three types of ground reference maneuvers are:
Rectangular course, S-turns across a road, and turns around a point.
Ground reference maneuvers are flown:
At lower altitudes— between 600 and 1,000 feet above the ground.
An airplane flying in an uncongested area with persons, vessels, vehicles or structures nearby on the ground may not fly lower than:
500 feet above them.
How far must you remain from large stadiums that are actively hosting a sporting event?
3,000 feet above the ground within a 3 miles radius from the stadium.
The rectangular course ground reference maneuver is very similar to what normal aviation procedure?
An airport traffic pattern.
The preferred entry into the rectangular course maneuver is:
A 45 degree entry to the downwind leg.
When flying the crosswind leg of a rectangular course the airplane must be:
Crabbed into the wind.
