Question 12

5. Base/Upwind Turn

Answer 12

-Abeam the corner begin a MEDIUM/SHALLOW turn to upwind (90 degree turn with wind).

Answer 13

Negligible, direction, visual

Question 14

Divide attention between _____ visual references, ______ instruments, and ____ scan.

Answer 14

Question 15

Monitor altitude (+-100’) & airspeed (+- 10 Kias): Make small ______ changes looking _____.

Answer 15

Power/pitch, ahead.

Question 16

6. Upwind position

Answer 16

-Slowest GS
-Adjust heading in small increments to maintain a constant distance.

Question 17

7. Upwind/Crosswind Turn

Answer 17

-Abeam the corner begin a SHALLOW turn to crosswind (<90 degree turn with wind).
-Adjust bank angle to maintain constant distance from the corner.
-Roll out on a heading crabbed into the wind.

Question 18

8. Crosswind Position

Answer 18

-Adjust heading in small to maintain a constant distance. (Crabbed into the wind).

Question 19

9. Crosswind/Downwind turn

Answer 19

-Abeam the corner begin a medium/steep turn to downwind (>90 degree turn with wind)
-Adjust bank angle to maintain constant distance from the corner.

Question 20

10. Downwind Exit

Answer 20

-Exit the maneuver at a 45 degree angle from the mid-point on downwind.

Question 21

Turns around a Point 1. Entry

Answer 21

-Select visual reference (intersection or other single point).
-Identify wind direction by visual indications or wind drift circle.
-Maneuver check complete.
-Setup for downwind entry approx. 1/2-1/4 nm from the point.

Question 22

2. Downwind (Turns around a point)

Answer 22

-Highest (GS)
-Note the entry heading and the corresponding visual reference outside.
-Looking ahead outside, smoothly roll into a 30-40° bank.
-Add rudder for coordination.
-If wind exists, proper drift correction will put the wing on the point and bank will be steepest.

Question 23

3. Base Position (Turns around a point)

Answer 23

-If wind exists, proper drift correction will put the inside wing BEHIND the point and bank will be moderate.
-Adjust bank as necessary for WIND DRIFT CORRECTION.

Question 24

4. Upwind Position (Turns around a point)

Answer 24

-Slowest GS
-If wind exists, proper drift correction will put the inside wing on the point and bank will be shallowest.
-Adjust bank as necessary for WIND DRIFT CORRECTION.

Question 25

Wind Drift Correction.

Answer 25

-VISUALLY identify groundspeed changes by drift toward / away from the point.
-If groundspeed increases (drift away): increase bank.
-If groundspeed decreases (drift toward): decrease bank.
-Make small bank adjustments to maintain a CONSTANT DISTANCE.
