WHAT TO TAKE HOME FROM THIS SEMINAR
E N D
1. SKILL BUILDER SERIES: TURNS AROUND A POINT ANNOYING MANEUVER…
INVALUABLE LESSONS
3. THE BASICS FIND A NICE 4-WAY ROAD INTERSECTION
NOT TOO CLOSE TO POPULATION
KNOW YOUR “INTO THE WIND” EMERGENCY LANDING SPOT
FIND AN ALTITUDE BETWEEN 600’ & 1,000’ AGL
KNOW WHAT DIRECTION THE WIND IS COMING FROM
DO A FLOW CHECK
AND A COUPLE OF CLEARING TURNS
4. THE WHOLE IDEA DIVISION OF ATTENTION
FLYING A COMPLEX GROUND TRACK, COMPENSATING FOR WIND BY CHANGING BANK ANGLES
COORDINATED CONTROL OF CHANGING BANK ANGLES
PERFECT ATTITUDE CONTROL DESPITE CHANGING BANK ANGLES
5. WHERE COULD WE POSSIBLY USE THESE SKILLS?
7. WHY? POSITIVE AIRCRAFT CONTROL DURING CRITICAL PHASES OF FLIGHT WHEN ATTENTION IS DIVIDED
ENHANCING BASIC CONTROL THROUGH MUSCLE MEMORY, “SEAT OF THE PANTS” FEEL, SOUNDS, & PERIPHERAL VISION
PERFECTING THAT BASE TO FINAL TURN, IN ALL WIND CONDITIONS
DEVELOPMENT OF SITUATIONAL AWARENESS WHEN CLOSE TO THE GROUND
8. FIND A GOOD POINT TO HARRASS 4-WAY ROAD INTERSECTIONS ALLOW FOR INTERMEDIATE CHECKPOINTS AROUND THE CIRCLE YOU WILL FLY
CHECKPOINTS SHOULD PROVIDE Ľ MILE SPACING FROM YOUR MAIN POINT
COVER UP THE ENTIRE FLIGHT INSTRUMENT PANEL…TRUST ME, THIS WILL DRAMATICALLY IMPROVE YOUR RESULTS
10. THE ENTRY GIVE YOURSELF SOME ROOM (1-2 MILES) UPWIND OF YOUR MAIN POINT PRIOR TO ENTERING
ENTER DOWNWIND OVER YOUR FIRST CHECKPOINT
SET YOUR POWER FOR SOMETHING AROUND 80-100KIAS
STABILIZE AT THE ALTITUDE YOU INTEND TO MAINTAIN
12. THE FIRST TURN ROLL STRAIGHT INTO YOUR STEEPEST BANK ANGLE OF THE MANEUVER, DON’T GET TOO CUTE
DEPENDING ON YOUR IDEAL CIRCLE’S RADIUS, & YOUR GROUND SPEED YOUR SHOULD BE BETWEEN 15° & 40° OF BANK
DON’T FORGET THE RUDDER & BACK PRESSURE
14. MAINTAINING COORDINATION REMEMBER, ANYTIME YOU DEFLECT THE AILERONS, YOU MUST DEFLECT THE RUDDER IN THE SAME DIRECTION
ROLLING IN, OR ROLLING OUT
YOUR BRAIN WILL TELL YOU TO SLOW THINGS DOWN A BIT, THIS WILL LEAD TO A SLIPPING TURN (OUTSIDE RUDDER)…DON’T DO THIS!!!
15. ROUNDING THE DOWNWIND SIDE THINK AHEAD
BEGIN TO REDUCE THE BANK, EVEN IF YOU DON’T THINK YOU NEED TO…TRUST ME, YOU DO
17. HOLDING YOUR ALTITUDE DESPITE HOW YOU STRESSED OUT ABOUT YOUR CHECKRIDE, THIS IS NOT THE MAIN DRIVE OF THE MANEUVER
THE POINT OF ALTITUDE CONTROL IN THIS MANEUVER, IS TO PROMOTE & PERFECT FUNDAMENTAL CONTROL
SIGHT (PERIPHERAL) OF THE NOSE & HORIZON LINE
SOUND OF THE ENGINE & AIRFLOW OVER THE COCKPIT
FEEL OR YOUR BUTT IN THE SEAT…HEAVIER THAN NORMAL (NO OFFENSE)
18. MAINTAINING ALTITUDE CONT. REMEMBER, CHANGING BANK ANGLES REQUIRE CHANGING AMOUNTS OF BACK PRESSURE
UNDERSTAND THE EFFECT OF RUDDER INPUTS AS THEY WILL LIKELY CHANGE BANK ANGLE & BACK PRESSURE REQUIREMENTS
19. GETTING UPWIND INTO A BIG HEADWIND, WE’RE TALKING 1° TO 5° OF BANK…NO KIDDING
DON’T ROLL WINGS LEVEL, THAT’S A FAILURE
DON’T CHEAT WITH OUTSIDE RUDDER
LOW BANK MEANS LITTLE BACK PRESSURE
21. SITUATIONAL AWARENESS ALWAYS, ALWAYS KNOW WHERE THE WIND IS & THIS MANEUVER IS MADE MUCH EASIER
TRANSFER THIS SKILL & AWARENESS INTO THE TRAFFIC PATTERN, OR ENROUTE AS YOU PONDER YOUR OPTIONS IN THE EVENT OF AN ENGINE FAILURE
TAILWHEEL PILOT? YOU GOTTA BE GOOD AT THIS JUST TO TAXI THE STUPID THING!
23. OVER THE TOP: THE UPWIND SIDE YEHAW! TIME TO HAVE FUN AGAIN
INCREASE THE BANK, RUDDER, & BACK PRESSURE AS YOU COMPENSATE FOR THE DIMINISHING TAILWIND BECOMING A HEADWIND
25. THE EXIT CONFIDENTLY ROLLTHE WINGS LEVEL
REMEMBER TO USE THE RUDDER TO ENFORCE COORDINATION
ALSO, RELEASE ALL OF THAT BACK PRESSURE YOU HAD IN THERE TO KEEP FROM DESCENDING IN ORDER TO AVOID A 200’ CLIMB AT THE END OF THE TURN
27. TRAINING & PRACTICE COVER UP THE FLIGHT INSTRUMENT PANEL
TAKE YOUR MOST CRITICIZING PILOT FRIEND, SPOUSE, OR ANY ANNOYING CFI WILL DO IN A PINCH
TRY A FEW, EMPHASIZING ATTITUDE CONTROL, FEELING THE WIND, & MAINTAINING COORDINATION
REINTRODUCE THE INSTRUMENTS AND SEE HOW GOOD YOU ARE
