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 requires the pilot to reduce ... bank angle to slow the rate of turn. If the 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…

reference line forward or backward to the pylon places the airplane in uncoordinated flight, at low altitude, with steep bank angles and should not be attempted. As the airplane turns toward a downwind heading, the pilot should rollout from ... tangent on the downwind side of the second pylon. The pilot should complete the rollout with the proper wind correction angle to correct for wind drift, so that the airplane arrives at a point downwind from the second pylon that…

more lift, it also produces more drag. The drag causes a slight slip during steep turns that should be corrected by use of the rudder. Figure 3-15. Overbanking tendency. Establishing a Turn On most light single-engine airplanes ... flat, and its horizontal surface to the natural horizon provides a reasonable indication for initially setting the degree of bank angle. [Figure 3-16] The pilot should then cross check the flight instruments to verify that the correct bank angle…
