Did anyone else here go out to the low flying area on a windy day and conduct "Constant radius turns about a fixed point on the ground" training as part of their CPL?
Nope I cant recall doing that though my Oz CPL would have been back in the 80's. But did some glider thermalling at 200-300 feet sometimes in wind. Was only grounded once when allegedly below tree top height but I was a teenager back then. And the many glider cable break training flights were good practice for low level tight turns with wind to consider.
