Cessna 208 infinite flight checklist3/25/2023 Stay ahead of the power curve and catch the airspeed at 90kts before you drop below this speed.įly between 80-90kts on final. When in the base turn, your speed will eventually bleed off and you’ll start to get slow. Pick a point, preferably something that recognizable and something that you can repeatedly use over and over as you remain in the pattern. If you’re not specific its likely that you’ll end up flying too far past the runway or you’ll be too high on final. But be specific in where you pull the power. I like to generally pull power at the runway number or at the 1000ft marker. On the downwind leg, you will need to find a point somewhere on the runway where you will pull the power to 0% or idle. In this example I chose 600ft which in the Juneau, AK area is roughly 590ft AGL as noted at the bottom of my toolbar.įlaps are still 10˚ degrees throughout the downwind portion. You are free to use an altitude of your choosing. I am landing on Runway 08 and the downwind heading is the opposite of that which in this case would be 260.įly your downwind leg at a speed no greater than 120kts. You have now rolled out on your downwind heading. Flaps will stay at 10˚ degrees through the downwind leg ![]() ![]() Ideally, this is what you would like to see on your upwind to crosswind/downwind turn.ĭo not retract flaps. This will and should set you up with decent spacing from the runway.Īlso note the vertical speed and the indicated airspeed in the above photo. From personal experience, it is easier to make a smooth turn from the upwind to the downwind omitting the crosswind. Once you reach 105kts on your upwind, you will immediately make your turn for the crosswind/downwind.
