- After take-off, bolter or wave-off, turn RIGHT and stay below 400 ft.
- When you find a slot, re-establish yourself in the pattern, line up behind the carrier @800′ and 350 kts, ready for another break.
- To earn your Carrier Qualification you need 2/3 valid passes with a 40+ score.
- Sierra Hotel Breaks may be requested but respect the fact that the pattern might be full. We don’t want to spill our coffee.
