Ground reference maneuvers with Spencer Suderman (episode 2)

Why does my flight instructor want me to keep flying circles around water towers and fields?

In this episode, Spencer demonstrates how to fly several of the common ground reference maneuvers, including turns around a point and the rectangular course. Not only will these help you learn to better control the airplane while compensating for the effects of the wind, but they’ll help you fly a better traffic pattern when returning to land after each flight.
