Glider vs. Power Pattern Bank Angle?
In power, they're taught to fly patterns with very little bank angle, whereas
in gliders we're taught to bank at about 45 degrees or so. I well understand the rationale for banking steeply in gliders, but why are power pilots taught to do shallow turns? TIA for the explanation. Jim Vincent CFIG N483SZ illspam
