T/S/D Computer with Traffic Pattern Orientator

when taking off or landing at airports pilots use a standardized traffic pattern the traffic patterns main purpose is to ensure that air traffic flows into and out of the airport in an orderly manner this makes the airport environment safer since all aircraft should be following the same procedures the basic traffic pattern is similar at all airports whether it is controlled by a control tower or a non towered airport the traffic pattern consists of a rectangular shape made up of five different legs departure crosswind downwind base and final the standard traffic pattern is referred to as left traffic this means that all turns in the pattern are made to the left a runway could also have a non-standard or right traffic pattern where all turns are made to the right at most airports the traffic pattern is typically flown 1,000 feet above the elevation of the airport the pilot should enter
