Ground Ref. Maneuver - Rectangular Course

The rectangular course roughly approximates a trip around the traffic pattern. The same basic standards apply to all ground reference maneuvers:

● Enter the maneuver on the downwind
● Perform the maneuver between 600 and 1000 feet AGL
● Correct for winds to maintain a precise ground track
● Maintain a constant altitude and airspeed
● Divide your attention between flying and watching for traffic
