Figure 6-11 Potential Conflict with ELP Traffic

CHAPTER SIX

T-6A CONTACT

NOTE

Retraction of flaps from the TO to the UP position is n

ot recommended below 110 KIAS to preclude the aircraft settling

back to the runway. However, there is no minimum to raise the

flaps from the LDG to the TO position.

Reduce power, as appropriate. Accelerate to and climb at 120 KIAS. Adjust your flight

path, moving to either side of the runway, as necessary, to avoid conflicting traffic and to keep

aircraft on the runway in sight.

Once on the upwind leg, begin visually acquiring interval traffic. If remaining in the

pattern, when "#1, with interval," make crosswind radio call and turn crosswind.

Figure 6-11 Potential Conflict with ELP Traffic

NOTE

A common and potentially lethal waveoff situation you should be

aware of and understand occurs in any landing pattern where

practice Emergency Landing Patterns (ELP) are flown on the

opposite side of touch & go traffic (such as at some OLFs). The

potential conflict exists when one aircraft is inside the 180

position on one side of the pattern and another aircraft (normally

executing a practice PEL is inside the low key position on the other

side of the pattern (Figure 6-12). Both aircraft are converging to

the same runway. PEL traffic always has priority over traffic

already established in the pattern. Therefore, be vigilant to clear

visually and over the radios during your touch & go practice. If

there is any question as to a possible conflict with traffic inside low

key (on the opposite side), waveoff your approach. If you have any

questions about this potential conflict situation, ask your IP.
