Ground Reference Maneuvers
Wind is the whole game in ground reference maneuvers: your groundspeed changes around the track, so your bank angle has to change with it — steepest when the wind is behind you, shallowest when it's on the nose. Set the wind, pick a maneuver, and watch what the corrected ground track demands.
Live readouts of the simulated groundspeed, wind correction angle (crab), and bank angle as the plane flies the selected maneuver, including where that bank sits within the maneuver’s range — shallowest at the upwind point, steepest at the downwind point. Airspeed is held constant.
Turns around a point — constant radius over the ground means the bank is steepest at the downwind point and shallowest upwind.
