) )
Note: Do not attempt to correct for the apparent
slip.
v. Roll out downwind and note the increased
groundspeed for a constant indicated
airspeed.
Note: Do not reduce power.
Turning into wind i. Head the aircraft directly downwind.
ii. Look out.
iii. Commence a balanced medium turn
through 180°.
iv. Visual contact with the ground gives an
impression of “skidding out” during the turn.
EFFECT OF TURBULENCE DURING
LOW FLYING
BAD WEATHER LOW FLYING
Whilst flying at minimum level, describe to the
student an assumed bad weather situation
which will necessitate the demonstration of:
A simulated bad weather circuit and landing
either at base or onto a suitable field.
Note: Do not attempt to correct for the apparent
skid.
v. Roll out into wind and note the reduced
groundspeed for a constant indicated
airspeed.
CONCLUSION: It will be necessary to take the
effect of drift into account when turning to avoid
obstacles.
i. More marked over uneven ground, trees,
hills and near thunderstorms.
ii. Beware of strong downdrafts downwind of
hills and mountains, as well as in the
vicinity of thunderstorms.
iii. Whenever practical avoid possible areas of
turbulence during low flying,
iv. Before or encountering turbulence:
a. Repeat low flying checks.
b. Increase altitude if practical.
c. Counteract downdraft by increasing
power.
d. In strong downdrafts where full
power cannot counter the effect of
the downdraft, turn out of the
downdraft.
i. Obtain ATC clearance (actual or
simulated).
ii. Complete field approach check.
iii. Approaching the circuit area, prepare the
aircraft for slow safe cruising.
iv. Keep a good look out and radio listening
watch.
v. Join the circuit as instructed by ATC. At
uncontrolled airfields or simulated landing
areas, comply with the statutory radio and
joining procedures.
vi. Position onto downwind, maintaining sight
of the runway. Complete before landing
checks.
vii. Maintain visual contact with the runway
