Eights-On-Pylons

What is it about?

Eights Around Pylons” has the objective to maintain a specific altitude while flying a figure eight pattern around two ground positions (pylons). The App will provide the bank angle needed to maintain the constant radius based on your current ground speed. “Eights On Pylons” objective is not to maintain a specific altitude but to vary both altitude and bank angle so that the pylon remains fixed in place when viewed from the cockpit. It is interesting to note that when the maneuver is flown correctly, the track over the ground is very similar. The App will provide both the altitude and the bank angle required to keep the pylons fixed in place.
