Thanks for the info!

Dumb question how do you know it’s right traffic pattern if no control tower. I thought standard is left traffic pattern? Did you check the airport directive and it says it’s right pattern? Confused newbie. Maybe due to wind?

[@BarryKnuttila]

Nice job catching that Aziz. You’re right, the normal traffic pattern is left turns. If it is non-standard right turns, like Catalina’s runway 22, you will find a note in the chart supplement and also on the sectional chart in the airport information box. It will be listed as RP 22 meaning that runway 22 uses a right pattern.

You forgot to list money as part of the lift equation....

😂

[@BK-it6te]

Very good but you missed out one ton of stuff

[@BarryKnuttila]

Hi B K, your ideas on what should be covered are valuable. Let us know what else you would like to see! Remember, this is only covering the things that may be taught during your very first flying lesson.

My concern with this training video is your altitude of 4,500’. Unless you really want to go swimming, seems rather low if you lose your engine.
