Over a Fixed Point

[woodhick 504]

Can you do a turn over a fixed (stationary?) point?  I can't get it quite yet but I'm getting better.  FlySimWare Mitsubishi MU-2B-60, P3Dv2.5, Orbx scenery.

Turns around a point was something I had to demonstrate back when I took my first checkride.

The trick is wind correction. But no one does it perfectly.

Yeah, it's something from the training days.  I'm sure not perfect by any means either.

Practice makes perfect!

Remember to always decrease your bank when turning downwind. Then add bank when turning upwind was you will be pushed away from the point.
