How should the FMS be set up for a traffic pattern training flight?

Traffic patterns aren't common on this type of aircraft so no real procedure exists. My advice is to enter your departure runway and arrival runway. Do not insert an instrument procedure, use the visual approach. This will allow you to display the extended centreline of the runway on your MFD for situational awareness. Calculate your performance on the ground and be wary of the aircraft's performance on departure.
