Hello....

I'm interested in taking another swing at pattern flying after number of years away. Last time I think was in the Poconos..mid 90's.

At any rate, I'm having an awful time with understanding the AMA Sportsman sequence. ie: Entering and Exiting the box. It would almost seem that there are entire series of maneuvers being performed without leaving the box? This is quite unlike the turnaround sequence (Novice) that I recall...

Is there anyone who can clear this up?

Thanks!

PS: If there's any of you in the Charlotte area flying pattern and would care to coach/call...I'd be happy to hear from you!!!

Thanks again!
