The Traffic Pattern - Flying Around An Airport

[17th21stLancers1945]

Well done circuit training video. Posted link on Flightgear Forum to answer a novice flyer.

If you are an actual pilot, then you should know that all parts of the airplane need to cross that line before you announce that you are clear of the Runway.

[theandpilot]

You have damege you flaps!

[aolambros]

@thomjake No. You turn at 600-700 AGL.

[smoshjkl]

Very nice Erik! Got to learn things! :)

[michaelmanfilms]

dose anyone know a good link for a freeware cessna 182

[radbcc]

Well produced and presented...

[Nowio95]

I like! Competent tutorial, nice graphics and quality. Could be a default tutorial mission in the actual game :)

[slaneyboi]

In a climb-turn you should only bank at a 5degree angle. :D

[droscar10]

wish you been my instructor 452 hours since great vid

[HonestMagnet]

Very nice video!!!

[davenicoll43]

Excellent video thank you...

What sound are you using as they does not appear to be default.??

Nice video! But I would say that the landing was not completely proper ... I'm even suspecting a nose wheel first... Other than that, very good video.

[flyer176]

Very nice video! So many simmers today fly the huge airliners yet they do not know how to do the basic traffic pattern. This helps a good deal!

[coolster450]

Wow nice tutorial, where did you find the repaint and the modified engine noise?

Cheers

Alex

[jackgrocks]

nice. departure leg is actually called the upwind

[FSX404]

Very nice video with some good solid info.

Make sure you give the approach speeds for the approach you're doing and the airplane being flown.

[TheAviationSpotter97]

FS9 or FSX? Tarmac looks nice and so do the lines! How?

[keysounddotcom]

Hey Erik, great production. Very nice use of graphics!

[GearDownFS]

Thank you!

[TheAviationSpotter97]

Well done Erik, a great video as usual!

Message for Guy014 :

Was this made with your GTX 295 rig?

I'm gonna be building pretty much the same rig except for the mother board, I'll be using the Asus P6T deluxe.

I've seen some videos on how FSX runs on the GTX 295, and this guy called AirForceAce21's videos are kinda laggy. I'm ordering the parts today. Could you give me some tips on how to get my FSX to run as good as this with the 295? I will overclock my i7 for sure.

Thanks in advance, reply quickly please!

[guy014]

Yes it was. However, you wouldn't see any performance improvements using the 295 over say... the 8800. FSX is all about CPU power.

AMAZING TUT AS ALWAYS =] 5/5

[ateh1]

wow... nice to learn from you guys... keep it up like that..!

[duranelton]

good job guys

[jakerthesnak]

very cool

[Wags182494]

How do I determine my TPA?

[GearDownFS]

It's generally somewhere between 1,000 and 1,500 ft AGL. It does vary though. 1,000 ft was used here because it didn't require too much of a climb.

[tontonfin]

I thought that it is always 30 degree turn...

[jonathankochhougaard]

"Departure Leg" also known as "Upwind", or am I wrong?

[GearDownFS]

The departure leg can be called the leaving leg, the goodbye leg.. all sorts of names. The upwind leg on the other hand is another leg - not covered here - on which you fly when you do a missed approach. You would basically fly the upwind leg at TPA and the same way you would the downwind leg.

[jonathankochhougaard]

Oh ok, thanks for info :-)

[CaptMose]

Very nice video Guy. Was that with FSX?
