Steep Spirals

COMMON ERRORS
  • First turn radius too large, subsequent radii smaller
    • Done unconsciously to keep reference in sight
    • Result is gliding around a "cone" instead of the desired "cylinder"
  • Losing the reference in the highest turn
  • Poor pitch and bank control
      Airspeed and bank allowed to increase too much
  • Poor wind drift correction
  • Not completing 1080° of turn (or as directed)
  • Losing track of the number of turns
  • Improper recovery
      Using outside references allows more accurate directional control
