Ground Reference Maneuvers:

Rectangular Course
...


 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.

...
We have never seen an examiner ask for this maneuver on a check ride.
...
Your traffic pattern work at the end of the checkride demonstrates it.
...
But be sure to practice it a few times prior to touch and goes, and get it in your logbook!
