RE: [Titanaircraft] Re: Any Tornado S or SS for sale in US or Canada

I have NEVER heard anything about getting to pattern altitude before turning
crosswind.

Never in my training, never at a biennial.

At the vast majority of airports I've flown to (not the real tiny ones, or
the dry lakebed), the airport diagram that's usually available tells you
WHERE, not at what altitude, to turn crosswind. All safety permitting, of
course. Frequently, but not always, it's for noise abatement reasons.

The 152 I did my checkride in could only take 9 gallons of gas in it
before it was over gross with my instructor and me. Needless to say we
didn't go very far from the airport. :>) I didn't know you were supposed
to wait until you got to pattern altitude before you turned crosswind. I was
normally there in the Titan by the time I got to midpoint on the runway!

Yepper.. the 152 was made until 1985 or thereabouts. I flew a few of these
when I was finishing up my private and for a while afterwards as a renter.
These had the O-235 in them and some other slight mods like only 30 degs of
flaps. Flew almost exactly like the 150 just a little heavier on the
controls.

They made one with long range tanks I remember that. With full gas, you
could only fly solo, but it had something like 4 hours of endurance....

Neither one climbed near as well as our titans, tho ;).
