Traffic pattern
Theoretical notions
- upwind: after departure on runway heading
- crosswind: first left/right 90 degrees turn
- downwind: parallel heading with runway heading, but opposite direction
- base: the third turn, perpendicular to the final track of the runway
- final: the last leg on traffic pattern, while the pilot has the runway at 12 o'clock, before landing
In Romanian, these turns are named after the intersection that is formed between each two turns, as follows:
- virajul 1 (între upwind și crosswind)
- virajul 2 (între crosswind și downwind)
- virajul 3 (între downwind și base) // bază
- virajul 4 (între base și final) // finală
