from one waypoint to the next. They do no account for the turning radius of the aircraft. It is normal to observe small deviations
from the flight legs in windy conditions.
Circle Radius:
A dashed line will appear around certain waypoints that have a radius. Examples include the landing pattern and
loiters.
