In the event T-6 emergency landing pattern procedures are enacted, what is the next step for the pattern?

When T-6 emergency landing pattern procedures are enacted, the next step in the pattern is to make the next pattern a full stop landing. This action is critical because it ensures that the aircraft is safely and directly preparing for landing without unnecessary maneuvers that could complicate the emergency situation.

In the context of an emergency landing, the priority shifts to ensuring the safety of the aircraft, crew, and any potential ground obstacles. A full stop landing allows for a controlled descent and approach to the runway, enabling a quick response from emergency services if needed.

Other options, such as continuing with normal maneuvers or climbing to an assigned altitude, would not be appropriate in this situation as they could detract from the immediate need to land the aircraft safely. Notifying ground control of the emergency is important, but it is typically part of the procedures that occur concurrently with preparing for a full stop landing rather than a direct next step in the pattern itself.
