Traffic Patterns 

It’s like taxing but in the air

Finally. A detailed and comprehensive explanation of traffic patterns. Thanks!

I cannot thank you enough for these videos!

Nice easy to follow graphics and 3D models in this presentation.

This helped me tremendously. Thank you for posting it.

Upwind is also a legit call you may hear from ATC, like, "extend your upwind to the bridge on departure", etc...

Thank god for you guys, I have my Cadet Ground school exam today.

Really well explained with GREAT and simple animation ✨👍🏾

i've been able to easily do ifr since i got fsx BUT THANK GOD I FOUND THIS TUTORIAL BECAUSE EVERY SINGLE VFR VIDEO I'VE SEEN IS LONG AF

Awesome 👍 very informative and well designed

load of information, with your videos. Thanks.

great explanation thanks guys

Very informative thanks

I learned what's an Upwind Leg!!! Thanks; I like your videos.

This helps me to become a airline pilot thank you so much a wish to fly in the near future!

this was honestly a great explanation of traffic patterns. thanks for helping us understand it.

Excelente demostration ,with words and dipiction

very informative and a clear voice. liked and subscribed. Thank you

Instructions unclear. Now I got my wife pregnant...

Great video and graphics. Thanks very much.

Perfect!!!! Thank you for posting this video, it has helped me so much!!💕💖

Thank you for properly identifying the Departure Leg

Helicopter pilots generally ignore all those rules to avoid messing up the airplane drivers air.

wow i learned a lot, thank you!

Great videos!

This was really good! Thank you!

Clean video mate!

Best visual where! Thank you

Thanks, very clear, easy to absorb.

Great video.

I constantly see pilots, especially commercial charter pilots in my area completely ignore the common traffic pattern and 45° entry to the downwind. They will enter non towered fields on final, right or left base, whatever suits them. They often depart the same way.

Only thing missing is procedure for entering pattern opposite the downwind side. The preferred teardrop entry and the alternate midfield crossover direct entry into the downwind.

I wish to study at Embry Riddle University sometime in the future

0:15 A bunch of students practicing touch and go

Great stuff!

Nice.. thanks for sharing....

Thanks a lot!! Very useful

Really good video

Thank You!!!

That animation is so realistic. What software is used?

If an airport or airstrip has multiple runways, does each runway have it’s corresponding traffic pattern? Or do you just enter the one pattern using the one mile distance? Sorry if it’s a dumb question. Just doing some self study before I start my pilot training in Spring.

Thanks 👍🏼

The "upwind leg" in the UK is called the "Dead Side".

Very clear! Thanks a lot!

Perfect.physics.clean.clear.informative.thank.u.so.much.stuff🎖🌏🎗🎖verry.well

Ehhh.............now I see where I have been going wrong on my landings. I see at 1:37 that I should have been landing on my nose wheel first, I'll correct that on my next flight. Thanks so much. What a great instructional video for us all to follow.

How do you exit to the N or S if the runway is E and W? Exit 45 degrees L or R from the upwind and then find your direct course from the departure airport?

Thank you Embry Riddle. So sick of people calling upwind when on the departure leg. This is a good example of how training under part 61 just allows bad habits to be passed down without any checks. One CFI misunderstanding infects multiple new pilots. I never hear anyone get the departure leg call correct anymore.

is this the ponte de sor airport in portugal?

Thanks so much

This needs to be a game

I'm sure every pilot entering upwind leg will sing the go around song :D

This is normally a spot on team but because you said standard I have to chime in as a CFI. You only gave some of the info. You depart the pattern at pattern altitude straight out or on the 45 not at an altitude of your discretion. You turn crosswind 300 ft bellow traffic pattern and turn downwind at pattern altitude. If your going to teach standard pattern procedures teach all the standard procedures. This is a common mistake by most instructors who fail to follow the FAR/AIM and omit the altitudes or should I say an example of primacy.. There’s also the AC 90-66A to further clarify. For you students make sure you verify procedures in the chart supplement to make sure the airport operates standard procedures or non standard especially pattern altitudes and traffic pattern. Never assume. Great video just not fully complete.

You take the turn on the crosswind leg when you are 500 ft then from crosswind to down wind at 1000 ft

The total disregard for standard procedure for exiting the pattern is a real problem. 90% of people I see are doing made-up "downwind departures," "crosswind departures"... Or taking off and immediately turning whatever direction they please, often directly head on into other traffic entering on the standard 45 to downwind. The AIM advises us to climb to pattern altitude and then depart either straight ahead or in a 45 degree turn in the direction of the pattern. This is for a good reason - it separates you from traffic entering the downwind. Instructors, start teaching people this stuff.

We don't do the 45 degree join in the UK. It seems like someone is butting into the circuit and jumping ahead of the queue, causing confusion to the position of traffic. Ok if you are the only aircraft at the airfield.

Departure is usually called Upwind. Atleast that’s how I was instructed

Is auto pilot allowed to use during circuit pattern training?

Try this at Innsbruck 👍🏻

ROGER THIS IS TWR control -R U READY FOR TAXIING ?

This makes everything a lotttttt simpler

so pattern direction on the map 3:34. RP 17 , 26 . not being a pilot , I'm assuming RP for Right Pattern. and can I assume 17 , 26 are runways. And if assumption is correct. can I also assume that there are at least two runways : 17/35 & 26/80. and if so would pattern be, LP 35 , 80, to keep all trafic together or is it RP respectively?

This is definitely better than the kings’

Watch your base to final “stall”

How convenient the pilot is always coming from the most ideal location for the downwind entry

What if you depart and another plane comes from upwind leg turning crosswind...how do you avoid collision?

25 *Dislikers* are from FSX Steam Edition!!

How to handle a situation when incoming traffic is joining at 45 degrees and a plane is staying in the pattern and has taken off and has turned into the downwind leg?

👍👍👍

👍🏻👌🏻

❤️

You sound like the person that narrates the safety video played on airlines before takeoff😂, nice vid tho

2:45 two 54-th numbers . against the rules=)

Wich program did you use

Oooooooh so that's why the controller has been screaming at me at FSX

I think I might try to program an NPC to do this in a flight sim in Unity. Should be challenging...

am taking notes lol

Those Cessnas have the same regulation number! That's going to cause some confusion with ATC.

Does the runway change direction when the wind changes

Some people say that standard holding pattern is right turn this one says its left turn as standard. Who is correct or wrong??

Spin recovery at angle theta..

I’m practicing Flight Simulator 2020

what is compas Rose?

on 2:46 at ktmb , "traffic on 1 mile final cleared for takeoff no delay"

Departure is not part of the pattern that part is called upwind

Japan, UK : On your left USA, S. Korea : On your right

2:26, I know why you stopped the sequence there...

Okay RU-vid recommended

0:59

2:36 parece real

Overhead join??

Tetraheedrohnez

What a great video. THX

WHY AM I WATCHING THIS!!! I probably won't even get my pilots license.

**tries Traffic Pattern in FlightSim with friends** Someone: “WTF ARE YOU DOING ?!” Someone2: “No! Its not like that! Youre wrong, let me show you how its done” Someone3: **crashed** Inside me: “i made a mistake”

Generally does not apply to helicopters

Noise abatement is such bs. The majority of airports were there wayy b4 residences. Then people move close to airports and complain. Smh

🇧🇷

i know some ATPs that would do well to watch this video 🙄
