In 1980 in my winch launch training the instructor released at 400' and only if you flew a straight-in landing toward the winch would he let you solo. I'm sure the same is practiced in the UK but human nature seems to nudge us to fly the pattern. Herb All this depends on terrain and wind conditions. At most places in Europe you start to enter the downwind leg at 500-700 ft AGL, so 400 ft would well make for an abbreviated pattern (in standard conditions). But this is an extremely well researched and written report. |
