How is a waveoff executed at KNDZ when landing on spot 2 with active runway 5?

• A. A climbing right turn (so you don't overfly tower or fuel pits)
• B. A stable descent straight ahead
• C. A climbing left turn (so you don't overfly tower or fuel pits)
• D. A circling maneuver to the left

Answer: (C)

In a waveoff you immediately climb and maneuver away from the landing area to keep clear of obstacles and traffic, then re-position for a safe approach. The key is to choose a turn that steers you away from known hazards while you gain altitude. For landing on spot 2 with runway 5 active at this field, turning to the left while climbing accomplishes that: it takes you away from the hazard area (tower and fuel pits) and puts you on a safer path to climb above those obstacles. A right-hand climb would keep you closer to those hazards and isn’t as safe in this scenario. A straight-ahead descent wouldn’t provide the needed altitude and obstacle clearance during a waveoff, and a circling maneuver isn’t the standard immediate waveoff flow when you need to depart the area promptly. So, the climbing left-turn waveoff is the safest, quickest way to clear the area and re-position for a new landing or go-around.
