  • Determining how to enter and fly a proper traffic pattern can be a daunting task, especially while travelling 120 miles per hour through the air towards the airport! In this airplane, we help you hone your skills in entering and flying a well executed pattern.

      @dylconnaway9976 Před 5 lety +2

      Michael Swader The video is 100% correct! Your instructors were wrong. The upwind leg is offset to the left or right of the runway opposite the downwind, flown at pattern altitude, and is NOT the departure leg. Check the AIM before saying something like that. I am amazed at how many people I hear that get that wrong. It’s incorrect info that’s been passed down through part 61 training I believe. Part 61 just doesn’t have enough checks on it and bad habits/incorrect info gets passed along with no safeguard. Now here you are, passing along that incorrect info. Part 61 training needs to be fixed.

      Helicopters have their own patterns. 500 ft AGL instead of 1000, downwind is 1/2 mile from the RWY instead of 1 mile. Standard is RIGHT instead of Left traffic. That allows helos to SEE (and avoid) the other, less maneuverable traffic (fixed wing planes).

    This is normally a spot on team but because you said standard I have to chime in as a CFI. You only gave some of the info. You depart the pattern at pattern altitude straight out or on the 45 not at an altitude of your discretion. You turn crosswind 300 ft bellow traffic pattern and turn downwind at pattern altitude. If your going to teach standard pattern procedures teach all the standard procedures. This is a common mistake by most instructors who fail to follow the FAR/AIM and omit the altitudes or should I say an example of primacy.. There’s also the AC 90-66A to further clarify. For you students make sure you verify procedures in the chart supplement to make sure the airport operates standard procedures or non standard especially pattern altitudes and traffic pattern. Never assume. Great video just not fully complete.

      There are "standard" ways to approach patterns. Runway flyover, and others. All of them get the pilot and plane into that "convenient" position of entering the downwind from the "most ideal" location.
      Simply put, you fly TO that convenient location, via standard turns/altitudes/procedures, than enter the pattern.

They are often found on charts and sometimes even painted on the surface of an airport and are used to orient the user to the cardinal directions.

    LP 35 , 80, to keep all trafic together or is it RP respectively?

    • @mekkler
      @mekkler Před 5 lety

      One runway is going to have two designations; 17 (somewhere around 170 deg) and 26 are 180 degrees apart. You can also have 17 L (left) and 17 R, and possibly an intersecting runway like 21. This is where you would have non-standard traffic patterns, which you would have to become familiar with in each case.

    • @ERAUSpecialVFR
      @ERAUSpecialVFR  Před 4 lety

      Yes. Runway choice is (nearly) always dictated by wind direction. If RWYs are 27/9 and wind is generally from the east, RWY 9 would be the appropriate runway. If the wind then shifted to somewhere closer to 270 (west), then RWY 27 would become the appropriate runway.

      HOLDING PATTERN is not the same as TRAFFIC PATTERN. Standard holding pattern is RIGHT. Standard traffic pattern is LEFT. Holding patterns are usually done somewhere away from the airport. The pilot/plane gets into a standard holding pattern to allow traffic in front of him to vacate the area, land, etc. He will safely fly the racetrack pattern until ATC advises it's safe to exit THAT pattern and head for the TRAFFIC pattern.

    The total disregard for standard procedure for exiting the pattern is a real problem. 90% of people I see are doing made-up "downwind departures," "crosswind departures"... Or taking off and immediately turning whatever direction they please, often directly head on into other traffic entering on the standard 45 to downwind.
    The AIM advises us to climb to pattern altitude and then depart either straight ahead or in a 45 degree turn in the direction of the pattern. This is for a good reason - it separates you from traffic entering the downwind.
    Instructors, start teaching people this stuff.

      Dumb comment. I have no problem with it. Not everyone gets to choose where they live, or their work schedule could change and something that never bothered them before is now an issue. Plus, you want to keep property values high and generate public support for airports (since the public pays for it). If you annoy them enough, you’ll lose the airport all together. Making people’s lives harder and potentially losing airport funding because “the airport was there first” is something a little kid would say bro and is just selfish. Pilots and airports are part of the community, and we gotta look out for our neighbors.

      @@dylconnaway9976 dude relax. Fact of the matter is, most airports started off in remote sparsely populated areas. Then people moved in and started to complain. Don't want to deal with noisy planes, dont live close to one. Or better yet stop flying. There you go; no more noisy planes. Denver's international airport when it was built, was built about as remote as an airport can be. Just watch, in a few years time, people will move in close by , then complain.

      jay C I’m sorry but the logic of, ‘Something was here first, this it shouldn’t have to change or adapt to change/progress’ is simply not a valid point. It merely states a fact then why something shouldn’t have to change when, from what I have heard, is based off of public funding (obviously private airports might be different) Also, I’m pretty sure certain noise abatement really isn’t that big of an issue for most pilots. Just going off of what I’ve heard. If you could explain to me as a slight newbie as to why it’s ‘BS’, I’d be glad to discuss. Keep in mind I’m a bit new though.

      Apollo XV Try telling pilots based at Santa Monica that Noise Abatements is not a big deal.

      Flight sim pilots would do very well to watch this video. I hear FS pilots daily describe their "Traffic Pattern" as 10 miles away at 12,000 ft.
