Foundations of Flight: Approaching With Confidence – Part 4, Pattern Transformations

In this installment, we help you use the precision landing protocols shared in the previous installments even when the world is not cooperating with your plans.

Enjoy!

Editors Note (illustration clarification): In the second image above (Medium/Strong Winds), the final leg should be shorter and the base leg closer to the target than the No/Light wind image. This means the canopy pilot has to implement a slight crabbing angle on the base leg.
