Before Landing / Traffic Pattern
Complete the Before Landing checklist as a flow prior to entering the
traffic pattern when time and workload permit. Slow the aircraft early
enough to allow for an easy transition into the traffic flow and enough
time to ensure the aircraft is configured for landing. The following
profile describes a normal traffic pattern. Pilots should use this profile
as a guide when entering the traffic pattern on the downwind leg and
modify as appropriate for base entry or straight in approaches.
