Plan the maneuver: a. Rectangular course: enter a left or right pattern, 600 to 1,000 feet above ground level (AGL) at an appropriate distance from the selected reference area, 45° to the downwind leg
Bottom line
To fly the rectangular course, the pilot should first locate a square field, a rectangular field, or an area with suitable ground references on all four sides. The airplane should be flown parallel to and at an equal distance between one-half to three-fourths of a mile away from the field boundaries or selected ground references.
