CFI Teaching the Maneuvers 4: Ground Reference Maneuvers and Eights on Pylons

CFI flight training, teaching the maneuvers (knowledge and teaching points, no flight footage) — episode 4: Ground Reference Maneuvers and Eights on Pylons. Ground reference maneuvers are where a learner stops flying the airplane through the air and starts flying it over the ground. The rectangle, the S-turns and the circle around a point teach wind correction and divided attention at low altitude, and eights on pylons, on the commercial and flight instructor tests, teaches intuitive control through a sight line. This episode covers the one principle behind all of them, the order to teach them in, the demonstrations, the classic errors and the low-altitude risks.
