For a time, back in the early seventies, Patty Wagstaff's dad had a flying school at Merrill Field PAMR in Anchorage.

Hello!

Brett: Thanks! I wasn't sure if there was a set procedure or time frame for achieving TPA. I'll continue to practice and make the transitions smoother.

Alan :)

The only really important thing is to not climb up or drop down into the downwind leg, for obvious reasons... how you manage that is up to you.

now i think i understand.   when ATC tells you the pattern, they are telling you which direction the "PATTERN" is, they leave it up to you to figure out how the hell to get into it.   got 'cha

there are just some things that "the learning center" should 'SHOW' you to teach you.  ... lol, then again it just might and i didnt look hard enough.


one thing that my boss always says when he wants someone to go rummage through the trucks to find something, and you cant find it .. is "IF YOU CAN'T FIND IT, IT'S BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T LOOK HARD ENOUGH!!!"

in some reguards, that could also go for help on Flight Sim.  If you want help to a problem, and you cant find an answer, (someone) didnt look hard enough for the answer before asking for help in finding it. 


[if anyone really notices, i rarely ever ask for help to situations about flight sim on here, as I had learned 6 years ago that GOOGLE was my friend  :) [smiley=laugh.gif]]

If you understand the 'Theorem of Pythagoras', you'll have no trouble with forty five to the downwind  :).
