This video covers the basics of understanding and flying in a left-hand traffic pattern and/or airport circuit in Flight Simulator.

The flight takes place in Skagit's Regional Airport (KBVS) on runway 28. We takeoff, climb to 1,000 ft AGL and complete the pattern where we return and land back on rwy 28.

Everything presented in this video should only be applied to Flight Simulation and/or virtual aviation. THIS IS NOT FOR REAL WORLD USE.
I am not a real world pilot, and therefore cannot testify on behalf of the actual processes of real world aviation.

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

  • Thank you!

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

  • 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.

  • What settings and add-ons are you using???

  • Near max and REX was used.

  • 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.

  • You have damege you flaps!

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