- Chapter 7: Ground Reference Maneuvers › Drift and Ground Track Control › Constant Radius During Turning Flight
radius of turn in the air varies proportionally with the bank angle. To maintain a constant radius over the ground, the bank angle used is proportional to groundspeed. For example, an airplane is in the downwind position at 100 knots ... same). If the pilot starts a turn using a 45° bank angle, the turn radius over the ground at that moment is approximately 890 feet. As the airplane turns, the groundspeed decreases and the bank angle needs to be reduced…

pilot continues the descent below the pivotal altitude, the projected visual reference line with respect to the pylon will begin to move forward. The altitude at which the visual reference line ceases to move across the ground is the pivotal ... altitude. If the airplane descends below the pivotal altitude, the pilot should increase power to maintain airspeed while regaining altitude to the point at which the projected reference line moves neither backward nor forward but actually pivots on the pylon…

wings are steeply banked 4. Substantial pitch control pressures 5. The need for increased additional power to maintain altitude at a constant airspeed during the turn As discussed in previous chapters, when banking an airplane for a level turn ... total lift divides into vertical and horizontal components of lift. In order to maintain altitude at a constant airspeed, the pilot increases the angle of attack (AOA) to ensure that the vertical component of lift is sufficient to maintain altitude…
- Chapter 8: Flight Instruments › Altimeter Operation
altimeter indicates an altitude above the actual field elevation. If the barometric pressure setting is reset to the current altimeter setting of 29.68 "Hg, then the field elevation is again indicated on the altimeter. This pressure change ... easily noticed in flight since aircraft fly at specific altitudes. The aircraft steadily decreases true altitude while the altimeter is held constant through pilot action as discussed in the previous section. Knowing the aircraft’s altitude is vitally important…
- Chapter 7: Ground Reference Maneuvers › Elementary Eights › Eights Along a Road
When the airplane completes the first 180° of ground track, it is directly crosswind, and the airplane should be at the maximum wind correction angle. As the turn is continued toward the upwind, the airplane’s groundspeed is decreasing, which ... pilot does not reduce the bank angle, the continued high rate of turn would cause the turn to be completed prematurely. Another way to explain this effect is—the wind is drifting the airplane downwind at the same time…
