- Entry (Rectangle Course)
45 Degrees to DOWNWIND:
-Identify wind direction by visual indications or wind drift circle.
-Select visual reference (rectangular field or set of roads)
-Maneuver check complete.
-Enter on a 45 degree angle to mid-point on downwind.
- Downwind
Highest GS
-Enter the downwind leg approx. 1/2-3/4 nm from the edge of the rectangle.
-Maintain a constant distance throughout the maneuver.
-Adjust heading in small increments to maintain a constant distance.
- Downwind/Base Turn
-Abeam the corner of the field begin the STEEPEST turn to base (>90 degree turn with wind).
-Adjust bank angle to maintain constant distance from the corner.
-Roll out on a heading crabbed into the wind.
- Base position
-Adjust heading ion small increments to maintain a constant distance. (Crabbed into the wind).
- Base/Upwind Turn
-Abeam the corner begin a MEDIUM/SHALLOW turn to upwind (90 degree turn with wind).
-Adjust bank angle to maintain constant distance from the corner.
Wind may be ________ and the _______ normally does not align with visual references. Use _______ judgement in identifying the effect of wind throughout the maneuver.
Negligible, direction, visual
Divide attention between _____ visual references, ______ instruments, and ____ scan.
Outside, cockpit, traffic.
Monitor altitude (+-100’) & airspeed (+- 10 Kias): Make small ______ changes looking _____.
Power/pitch, ahead.
- Upwind position
-Slowest GS
-Adjust heading in small increments to maintain a constant distance.
- Upwind/Crosswind Turn
-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.
- Crosswind Position
-Adjust heading in small to maintain a constant distance. (Crabbed into the wind).
- Crosswind/Downwind turn
-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.
- Downwind Exit
-Exit the maneuver at a 45 degree angle from the mid-point on downwind.
Turns around a Point 1. Entry
-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.
- Downwind (Turns around a point)
-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.
- Base Position (Turns around a point)
-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.
- Upwind Position (Turns around a point)
-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.
Wind Drift Correction.
-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.
