What is AGL? - CORRECT ANSWER - Height above the ground.
What is MSL? - CORRECT ANSWER - Height above mean sea level.
What is standard traffic pattern altitude AGL? MSL? (Only at KEUL for MSL) - CORRECT
ANSWER - 1000ft. AGL, 3,400ft. MSL
Explain how to enter the traffic pattern - CORRECT ANSWER - When entering the traffic
pattern you need to have listened to the AWOS, run the GUMPS list, announce to other traffic.
We enter the traffic pattern by doing a teardrop 45 to enter the downwind.
Explain how to fly a traffic pattern. - CORRECT ANSWER - Quintin should know this other
