Question 1
The first rule is used to determine if the plane is making a right bank (R), left bank (L), or no bank at all (N). You simply do this by
Seeing which side of the horizon is higher; whichever side is higher is the direction of the turn you are making
The second rule is used to determine if the plane is flying up (U), down (D), or level (L). You simply do this by
Looking a both sides of the horizon. If there is more sky on one side that there is land or water on the other, then the plane is going up. If there is more land/water on one side then there is sky on the other side, then the plane is going down. If the amount of land/water on the other side, then the plane is flying level.
The third rule is used to determine if the plane is flying towards land (L), towards sea (S), or up/down the beach (U). To do this u simply
Put ur finger at the bottom of the picture and move ur finger up until u hit the horizon. At the horizon, if u hit land, u are flying towards sea. Up/down the beach is like a plane pulling an advertising banner down the beach.
