4000’ and 3300’
When entering tinder’s pattern from point B/C, cross 7 mile initial at or above ____ and be at _____ by ____
3300’, 2800’, 3 mile initial
What is the definition of point A in tinders pattern
Wichita Valley Airport
When entering Tinder’s pattern from point A, be wings level _____ minimum prior to point A and clear vigorously for other entry aircraft
1 mile
Cross point alpha at what altitude and what heading
3500’ and 45 intercept heading for outside downwind
After crossing point A, descend to what altitude prior to what point
2800’ 1 mile prior to outside downwind
After an approach to Tinder’s runway, if not approved for closed traffic, what should you do?
Automatically turn crosswind at the departure end of the runway and maintain 2300’ MSL until clear of inside downwind ground track
References to DME in Tinder’s pattern are based on what NAVAID?
Sheppard TACAN (SHP CH45X)
When entering Tinder’s pattern direct to initial, report what two things?
15 mile initial and direction of traffic entry
When should you not break (2 times)
- Straight in between 9 miles and 4 miles
2. Unable to follow the last aircraft on inside downwind with sufficient spacing
When will you turn crosswind off of a break point straight through?
Departure end of runway
When pulling closed from 15, what altitude should you be at when crossing the extended runway centerline of runway 18?
At or above 2300 MSL
Normally, request closed approximately ____ down the runway
2/3
When can you not request closed (2 times)
- Straight in between 9 and 4 miles
2. Aircraft between 3 mile initial and “in the break”
Request closed no later than ______.
Rolling out on crosswind
If requesting closed with a runway 18 departure in place, what will be different about the closed request?
Acknowledge the advisory call at the closed request with a “tally” call. “Kent 11, Request closed, tally”
Normally, fly ____ KTS on inside downwind prior to configuring
220
With a straight-in inside 4 miles, do not begin the final turn unless ____
straight-in is in sight and a normal final turn can be flown behind the straight-in
Land at least ____ behind other aircraft on the runway when not landing on alternate sides (crosswind procedures, formation landing, night, etc)
6000’
On a go-around or offset, climb as required, no higher than ____
2300’
If there are aircraft on the runway for takeoff, or if directed, where should you offset to?
To the west, between taxiway D and the runway. If possible, retract landing gear prior to offsetting
Do not descend below ___ during a restricted low approach
500’
Solo UPT students enter the high pattern after takeoff and normally remain there until able to fly the first overhead pattern with fewer than _____ lbs
2500
Steps for executing a pattern breakout (3)
- Climb to 4000
- Turn heading 240
- Contact Shep Arrival for sequencing to desired entry point
* 1 and 2 can be conducted simultaneously, just be wary of the 45 degree / 1.5 g ops limit for gear extension/retraction
On a pattern breakout, maintain 240 heading until….
Further advised by ATC
What to do when breaking out from departure end of runway (15R/33L)
Climb to 4000, turn heading 240, contact Shep Arrival
What to do when Tinder directs a breakout at the departure end of 15C/33C
Climb to 4000, contact Shep Arrival, do NOT turn heading 240
T or F. Single-ship landings are normally accomplished to either side of the centerline on all Sheppard runways.
True
What should you do if you need to discontinue a straight in for some reason
Continue at 2300’ along the normal ground track to the departure end

Ceiling: 2300’
Vis: 3 nm
i.e Restricted Pattern
After cancelling IFR on the Falls, descend VFR from the last assigned altitude to be at ____ feet MSL no later than ____ DME
