During a turn.<br />
THE EFFECT OF WIND<br />
Crosswind effect.<br />
ii. Turning downwind.<br />

clear safely (i.e. tree, windmill, etc.).<br />
v. Aim the aircraft slightly to the right of the<br />
selected object and when at a suitable distance<br />
from the object, rapidly rotate the aircraft into<br />
the climbing attitude, applying climb power,<br />
keeping the object in sight.<br />
vi. Note how the aircraft mushes towards the<br />
object, due to inertia, before climbing away.<br />
i. Lookout.<br />
ii. Establish required low flying configuration –<br />
engine and airframe.<br />
iii. Select safe low flying altitude.<br />
iv. Select prominent ground feature directly ahead<br />
of the aircraft, high the aircraft will be able to<br />
clear safely (i.e. windmill, tree, etc.).<br />
v. Aim the aircraft slightly to one side of the object<br />
and when at a suitable safe distance from the<br />
object, simultaneously applying power while<br />
keeping the object in sight.<br />
vi. Note how the aircraft mushes towards the<br />
object, due to inertia, before continuing in the<br />
new direction.<br />
CONCLUSION: It will be necessary to take the effect of<br />
inertia into account when avoiding obstacles.<br />
i. Position the aircraft to track along a ground<br />
feature that is 90° to the wind.<br />
ii. Note the drift angle is more clearly observed at<br />
lower levels.<br />
iii. Note the aircraft’s track over the terrain.<br />
iv. Look out.<br />
v. Commence a medium turn into wind and<br />
continue turning through 180° - balanced turn.<br />
vi. Roll out parallel to the ground feature and note<br />
the aircraft’s distance from it.<br />
vii. Repeat the exercise, but commence the turn<br />
downwind. Roll out after 180° and note the<br />
aircraft’s distance from the ground feature.<br />
APPLICATION: When flying a bad weather circuit in<br />
crosswind conditions, apply the appropriate corrections<br />
to position the aircraft in the circuit pattern.<br />
i. Head the aircraft directly into wind.<br />
ii. Lookout.<br />
iii. Commence a balanced medium turn through<br />
180°.<br />
iv. Visual contact with the ground gives the<br />
impression of slipping into the turn.<br />
NOTE: Do not attempt to correct for the slip.<br />
v. Roll out downwind and note the increased<br />
groundspeed for a constant indicated airspeed.<br />
