In The Plane

...	The ACS calls for these to be 600'-1000' AGL
...	...	BUT, on Long Island - 1000' AGL is best!
...	This maneuver should be practiced at various airspeed and flap configurations, as examiners can ask for just about anything!
...	...	In light winds, "slow-flight" configurations are often used on checkrides.

...	1- Plan the Maneuver based on Wind Direction
...	...	Select a suitable area & reference point
...	...	Emergency Landing into the wind…
...	...	Configure your plane - as requested
...	...	Pre-maneuver Check & Clearing Turns
...	2- Enter perpendicular to the selected ref line
...	...	turn - steepest bank (ground speed is fast)
...	...	and smoothly start rolling out, so you are
...	...	wings level as you cross your ref line
...	3- Flying upwind
...	...	turn - gently at first, (ground speed is slow)
...	...	reach the same distance from ref line as before
...	...	Roll in steeper bank as gnd speed increases
...	...	Cross ref line as wings come level! FUN!

...	Airman Certification Standards (ACS)
...	...	Calls for At least 1 of the 3 Ground Reference Maneuvers to be demonstrated on your checkride.
...	...	Altitude 600' - 1000' AGL
...	...	Altitude ±100'
...	...	Airspeed ±10 kts
