pilot's logbook

Holding Patterns:
1. Find intersection
2. Where am I? (put a dot on the map or chart)
3. Where will the pattern be?
4. Always turn the shortest distance to the outbound course.

The first turn to the intersection or nav-aid can be direct to the intersection (not necessarily follow the racetrack shape if it doesn't make sense to do so."


Listen to the radio calls, writing them is a distraction.

C (clearance)
R (route)
A (altitude)
F (frequency)
T (transponder)
