Steep Turns and Turning Around a point

Question 1

What are the set up process for turning around a point?

Answer 1

1) Practice area and a reference point
2) Va Speed
3) Altitude between 600-100 (make calculation based on elevation)
4) Clear the area
5) Trim for hands free flying

Question 2

Explain the turning process for turning around a point.

Answer 2

Tailwind and initial turn to left (Steepest and don’t exceed 45 bank)-Highest ground speed

Turning to upwind: Gradually decrease the bank angle

In upwind: Slowest ground speed and shallowest bank angle

Turning into downwind: gradually increase bank angle

Question 3

What are the set up process for turning around a point?

Answer 3

1) Practice area and a reference point
2) Va Speed
3) Altitude between 600-100 (make calculation based on elevation)
4) Clear the area
5) Trim for hands free flying

Question 4

Explain the turning process for S-Turns

Answer 4

Tail Wind Cross the line: (Steepest and don’t exceed 45 bank)-Highest ground speed

Turning to upwind: Moderate bank angle

In upwind: Level the wings/crossing the line and shallowest bank angle

Turning into downwind: gradually increase bank angle
