TURNS AROUND A POINT
This training maneuver requires you to fly constant radius turns around a preselected point on the ground using a maximum bank of approximately 40°, while maintaining a constant altitude. [Figure 20-12] Your objective, as in other ground reference maneuvers, is to develop the ability to subconsciously control the gyroplane while dividing attention between the flight path and ground references, while still watching for other air traffic in the vicinity.
The factors and principles of drift correction that are involved in S-turns are also applicable in this maneuver. As in other ground track maneuvers, a constant radius around a point will, if any wind exists, require a constantly changing angle of bank and angles of wind correction. The closer the gyroplane is to a direct downwind heading where the groundspeed is greatest, the steeper the bank, and the faster the rate of turn required to establish the proper wind correction angle. The more nearly it is to a direct upwind heading where the groundspeed is least, the shallower the bank, and the slower the rate of turn required to establish the proper wind correction angle. It follows then, that throughout the maneuver, the bank and rate of turn must be gradually varied in proportion to the groundspeed.
The point selected for turns around a point should be prominent and easily distinguishable, yet small enough to present a precise reference. Isolated trees, crossroads, or other similar small landmarks are usually suitable. The point should be in an area away from communities, livestock, or groups of people on the ground to prevent possible annoyance or hazard to others. Since the maneuver is performed between 600 and 1,000 feet AGL, the area selected should also afford an opportunity for a safe emergency landing in the event it becomes necessary.
To enter turns around a point, fly the gyroplane on a downwind heading to one side of the selected point at a distance equal to the desired radius of turn. When any significant wind exists, it is necessary to roll into the initial bank at a rapid rate so that the steepest bank is attained abeam the point when the gyroplane is headed directly downwind. By entering the maneuver while heading directly downwind, the steepest bank can be attained immediately. Thus, if a bank of 40° is desired, the initial bank is 40° if the gyroplane is at the correct distance from the point. Thereafter, the bank is gradually shallowed until the point is reached where the gyroplane is headed directly upwind. At this point, the bank is gradually steepened until the steepest bank is again attained when heading downwind at the initial point of entry.
Just as S-turns require that the gyroplane be turned into the wind, in addition to varying the bank, so do turns around a point. During the downwind half of the circle, the gyroplane’s nose must be progressively turned toward the inside of the circle; during the upwind half, the nose must be progressively turned toward the outside. The downwind half of the turn around the point may be compared to the downwind side of the S-turn, while the upwind half of the turn around a point may be compared to the upwind side of the S-turn.
