best rate of climb (VY). Directly below you there should be a straight line landmark (e.g., road or power line) parallel to your flightpath. (2) Reduce power smoothly to idle as the airplane passes through a cardinal altitude ... Lower the nose to maintain the best glide speed and make a 260° turn at the best glide speed. Emphasize that this turn should be into the wind (if there is a crosswind). (4) Re-intercept…
