An airfield traffic pattern is a standard path followed by aircraft when taking off or landing while maintaining visual contact with the airfield. At an airport, the pattern (or circuit) is a standard path for coordinating air traffic. It differs from "straight-in approaches" and "direct climb-outs" in that an aircraft using a traffic pattern ...

Directionality of traffic flow by jurisdiction Countries by direction of road traffic, c. 2020 ⇅ Left-hand traffic ⇵ Right-hand traffic Left-hand traffic (LHT) and right-hand traffic (RHT) are the practices, in bidirectional traffic, of keeping to the left side and to the right side ...
Overhead join. An overhead join is a conventional method for an aircraft to approach and safely land at an airfield. It helps a pilot to integrate with any air traffic pattern near an airfield, join any circuit, and land. Aircraft may arrive at the landing site from any direction, so a safe means of integrating into existing traffic and ...
A continuous flow intersection (CFI), also called a crossover displaced left-turn (XDL or DLT), is an alternative design for an at-grade road junction. Vehicles attempting to turn across the opposing direction of traffic (left in right-hand drive jurisdictions; right in left-hand drive jurisdictions) cross before they enter the intersection.
A4 Interchange for right-hand traffic, or B4 interchange for left-hand traffic. The parclo A4 (also called "six-ramp partial cloverleaf") contains six ramps. [2] On each side on the freeway, there is an (often multi-lane) exit ramp, followed by a loop ramp and directional ramp entering the freeway.
Touch-and-go landing. In aviation, a touch-and-go landing (TGL) [1] or circuit and bump is a maneuver that is common when learning to fly a fixed-wing aircraft. It involves landing on a runway and taking off again without coming to a full stop. Usually the pilot then circles the airport in a defined pattern known as a circuit and repeats the ...
The Washington Driver Guide concludes that the law means “Drivers must not enter an intersection unless they can get through it without having to stop.”. And the professionals who train our ...
In aviation, a traffic pattern indicator is an L-shaped device which show the airfield traffic pattern to the in-flight aircraft over an aerodrome. [2] The short arm of the "L" represents the base leg, and the long arm the final approach. [3] If no segmented circle is installed, traffic pattern indicators may be installed on or near runway ends.
