Circuit pattern flight usually used to perform landing excercises and to get more deepen your flight orientation. If you play music, it can be called a twelve-bar blues LOL. Circuit Pattern made with Visual Flight Rules (VFR). And for the VFR, ATC does not provide vector (heading), because the flight based on visual reference (visual reference). There are two types of circuit pattern, the Left Hand and Right Hand Pattern. Left hand pattern, if after airborne we turned left to join left downwind. As for right hand pattern, after airborne turn to the right to join right downwind. Here is the caption from the legs of the circuit pattern flight:

The caption above shows that the airplane is gonna make ‘Left traffic pattern’, means after airborne the plane is gonna turn left to join the left downwind runway 23. Here is the details:

  • ‘A’ when plane’s airborne.
  • ‘B’ The plane is turning to the ‘Crosswind leg’
  • ‘C’ The plane is established on ‘Left downwind’ runway 23
  • ‘D’ is the area where the plane is joining ‘Base leg’ runway 23
  • ‘E’ The plane is ‘On Final’ runway 23
  • If the airplane is coming from the south of the airfield, airplane can enter the left downwind runway 23 at 45 degree to the downwind leg (see: light blue box).
  • If the airplane comes from the same heading with runway. airplane can join the ‘Upwind’ runway 23. Until at least 1 minute passing THE EDGE of runway 23 the airplane can turn to ‘Crosswind leg’ to join ‘Left downwind’ runway 23 (Purple box).

The same procedure if you want to make ‘Right traffic pattern’

Hi all..This time i’ve complete my tutorial about how to start the Airbus engines. I’ve made the tutorial in comic’s layout so I hope it’s more easier to read and more fun to learn :)

I’m using Airbus A320 from Wilco/Feelthere Airbus vol.1. The nice thing i like from Airbus family is the simple systems of the aircraft. If you can operate this A320 you also can operate the bigger one like A330,  or even A340, cause I could say there’s no particular difference in the procedure.

Well, I hope you enjoy this tutorial and here is the highlights of my tutorial…

If you can read it clearly just click the images to enlarge but I think it’s better if you download the Pdf file to get more bigger size of the images and writings. You can download the Pdf file here
