“S” Patterns

MOTIVATION

The confidence you gain from mastering basic instrument

maneuvers will help you meet the challenges of instrument

flight—from enroute navigation to a complex instrument approach

in turbulent weather.

In this lesson, we’ll discuss “S” patterns. Each maneuver will be

broken down into its component parts. You may find it easier to

perform a complex maneuver if you remember that it is composed

of several simpler maneuvers. Concentrate on each

submaneuver as you fly it and the whole maneuver will seem

simpler.

We will look at how “S” patterns are performed under instrument

conditions.

Procedures used in the “S” patterns may be used during

instrument approaches and missed approaches.

OVERVIEW

After this lesson, you will know the procedures, controls, and

scans for performing “S” patterns. You will know how to interpret

instrument indications and respond to them appropriately.

This lesson consists of the procedures, controls, and scans for:

S-1 pattern

S-3 pattern
