How to identify airport runways and traffic patterns (video tip)

1 min read

A standard traffic pattern is normally flown when setting up to approach and land at an airport. In this video, we’ll take a look at the standard ways to both enter and depart a traffic pattern, as well as look at how runways are identified based on their location and orientation.

This video clip below is from Sporty’s complete Learn to Fly Course.
