PPL AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL

5. RECTANGULAR TRAFFIC PATTERN

1. UPWIND/DEPARTURE LEG
2. CROSSWIND LEG
3. DOWNWIND LEG
4. BASE LEG
5. FINAL LEG
AERODROME TRAFFIC PROCEDURES
1. IN AIRPORTS WITH CONTROL TOWER, ALL TURNS SHOULD BE NORMAL, ALL TO THE LEFT UNLESS
OTHERWISE INSTRUCTED
2. MAINTAIN A LISTENING WATCH ON THE TOWER FREQUENCY
3. LISTEN TO ATIS BROADCAST TO LESSEN LANDING PROBLEMS
HOLDING POSITION
1. POSITION THE AIRCRAFT 100 FEET FROM THE EDGE OF THE RUNWAY (ACTIVE-IN-USE)
OR AS FAR AND SAFE AS POSSIBLE FROM THE WAKE TURBULENCE OF BIGGER AIRCRAFT
2. POSITION THE AIRCRAFT AT AN ANGLE OF 90 DEGREES FROM THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC.
GETTING YOUR HEADINGS
1. IF YOU TURN TO THE RIGHT, ADD THE DEGREES YOU TURN
2. IF YOU TURN TO THE LEFT, SUBTRACT THE DEGREES YOU TURN
1. EX. BASE LEG- 280 DEGREES TURN LEFT TO FINALS MINUS 90 DEGREES = 190 DEGREES
2. EX. ENTRY LEG – 45 DEGREES TURN RIGHT DOWNWIND 45 DEGREES = 90 DEGREES
