• Departure Leg= Right after takeoff and to 300’ and ½ mile.

• Upwind Leg= Flying Parallel to the Runway..either to the Right or Left side Traffic is above you. Danger high wing low wing and visibility. PICTURE

Difference between upwind and departure legs.

Elevation, and Runway Slope.• Aircraft gross Weight.• (3) Wind…..Gust Question: Winds are 360 @ 15 Gust 25• What are the Gust ???• (4) Temperature….one of the big factors in determining Density

Altitude……Build a Density Altitude model to review.• “In the Vicinity of an Airport” there are no specification or definition.

Next Fight ReviewDo it at Night- No Hood
