Are downwind approaches not in the FAA syllabus for the PPL(H) ?
They are covered in the JAA license, but I find that they are rarely taught well or given the right emphasis - the student is usually given a demo and then told to avoid them, which really doesn't help them in their future operations.
If downwind approaches are not part of the FAA syllabus, how do the students acquire the skills and knowledge required to perate safely if circumstances require a downwind approach ?
