Variable bank angle - not constant bank - is the single concept that separates passing from failing ground reference maneuvers on the private pilot checkride.
PatternMaster turns around a point by matching bank to groundspeed - steepest on downwind, shallowest on upwind - to fly a true circle, not an egg.
PatternRadio Hangar explores Turns Around a Point, the Ground Reference Maneuver Where the Wind Does the Grading and Most Students Fly a Circle That Isn't One.
PatternMaster turns around a point by understanding how wind changes your groundspeed and bank angle - steepest downwind, shallowest upwind, all the way around.
PatternMaster turns around a point with correct wind correction techniques that prevent the most common checkride failures.
