Ground reference s turns kahana
The aim of the study is to develop and test obstacle display concepts that help the pilot to maintain low level flight and while avoiding obstacles.
This SECOND DEIS is being submitted to correct a production error related to consultation during the preparation of the DEIS.!
S-Turns are one of three ground-reference maneuvers you'll fly as a student pilot.
Here's how to fly them perfectly, every time.
First, What Exactly Is An "S-Turn?"
According to the Airplane Flying Handbook, "S-turns is a ground reference maneuver in which the airplane's ground track resembles two opposite but equal half-circles on each side of a selected ground-based straight line reference." It's a maneuver which tests your ability to correct for wind during all turns, and is especially helpful in developing your ability to compensate for wind while flying a traffic pattern.
Your goal is to fly a constant radius turn on either side of your reference line. Here's what they look like:
The FAA lists out a number of objectives that you should learn from S-Turns, including:
- Maintaining a specific relationship between the airplane and the ground.
- Dividing attention between the flight path, ground-based references, manipulating the flight controls, and scanning for outside haz
