Standard Traffic Pattern At KBEH

Front

Aircraft departing runway 28 should fly the runway heading until

Back

reaching an altitude of 700 feet agl

Front

Pattern altitude at KBEH is

Back

1642 feet msl

Front

Before lowering the first 'notch' of flaps,

Back

decrease airspeed when abeam the numbers

Front

An aircraft on the downwind leg and abeam the numbers should reduce power and hold altitude

Back

which will result in a loss of airspeed

Front

A pilot departing runway 28 from Benton Harbor turns to a left crosswind after reaching

Back

1340 feet msl with a magnetic heading of south. This is standard procedure.

Front

The downwind leg is normally flown about 1/2 mile from the runway intended for landing. The primary reason for this distance is to ensure that

Back

an aircraft with an engine failure at pattern altitude would be able to glide to the airport.

Front

Pilots begin the turn to the base leg when they are located at a 45 degree angle from the touchdown point.

Back

at a 45 degree angle from the touchdown point.

Front

Immediately before turning downwind, an aircraft in the traffic pattern is located on the

Back

crosswind leg

Front

Traffic flying into the Benton Harbor airport should normally join the pattern by

Back

entering the downwind leg at a 45 degree angle.

Front

Aircraft departing runway 28 are flying approximately

Back

west.
