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
