Traffic Patterns - Quick Breakdown

[WarHawK]

Great & Simple video by The Aviators talking about all phases of the active rectangle for runway operations. Most of you already know this, however this would be a good place to point people to for learning just the basics for when we near an airfield for a full stop landing.

That has got to be the quickest, simplest, and best illustrated summary of the pattern I have seen yet! Very helpful to those just getting started.

Next building blocks of information: figuring out left vs right traffic in your head, common pattern distances/times & altitudes per aircraft type & speed, safe pattern entry/exit options, and wind correction for a perfect pattern.
