The airplane will be flown at 1,000’ AGL parallel to and at an equal distance from the field boundaries – about ½ – ¾ miles from the boundary as you would fly a traffic pattern. As the airplane turns onto the following base leg, the tailwind will decrease and becomes a crosswind.

We counteract adverse yaw by applying rudder in the direction of the turn. The amount of rudder required depends on roll rate and airspeed. Airspeed and attitude change constantly, and we must change rudder input along with them. We apply right rudder to counteract the left-turning tendencies.

If utilizing Runway 17 with left traffic, the crosswind turn will be heading 080, downwind 350, base 260, etc. VFR to MVFR…then 2 miles visibility and a ceiling of 1,200 feet agl. Then the CFI should increase the winds so they are 10 knots (or more) above the demonstrated crosswind component.

Once in position and any crosswind corrections noted, takeoff power should be applied smoothly and continuously while holding the brakes until the maximum obtainable engine power. Establish cruise climb above a minimum safe altitude (500-1000’ AGL).

Adjust pitch and power for the desired airspeed and approach angle.The approach should be stabilized on the extended runway centerline no lower than 300’ AGL. At this time, it should be gently lowered.Maintain directional control and crosswind correction with appropriate rudder aileron input.

x V SO (or POH recommendation) by around 500 feet AGL. Will you need a crosswind correction? Establish the target approach speed by around 500 feet AGL.

You completed the climb check at 300 ft AGL. The engine quits at 500 ft AGL. You’re at a high pitch attitude and are counteracting the left-turning tendencies with rudder. If you have a left crosswind and are banking left, you’ll have a tighter turn, which is beneficial. Let’s use a scenario to give us some context.
