April 27, 20215 yr New to flight sim and aviation in general. I have found that I really enjoy departures and arrivals that use a 180 degree turn after take off / on approach. Is there a name for this in aviation? I think of it as a 180 departure or 180 approach but I'm hoping there is an actual name for this.
April 27, 20215 yr They are called "left" or "right" downwind departures or arrivals, and more correctly consists of two 90 degree turns (crosswind and downwind on departure / downwind, base and final on approach) rather than one 180 turn. These are standard traffic patterns. Some may call for 180 depending on obstruction but those would be non standard and depicted on charts or described in the A/F D (Airport and Facilities Directory) Edited April 27, 20215 yr by jalbino59 Jose A.
