Q

Difference between telling 2 to “go” or “push” to a channel, what about Aux Freq change

A

“go” 2 must acknowledge with “2” and push 2 can go to the channel an wait for check-in, Lead will add Victor to call “C/S go channel 11 Victor”

Q

Lead Changes

A

Can be directed from Fingertip or Route, but if in Fingertip 2 will move to route. 2 will become 1 passing the 3/9 line (canopy bows aligned) and give headnod. New 1 will turn on TAS/Swqk and check inflight on AUX. Formation will rejoin to position lead change was initiated

Shallow wing rock
36

37
Route Spacing
2 ship widths to a max of 500' | behind LAB and no further bank than 30 degrees extended fingertip line
38
Turns in route
2 should maneuver to always keep visual on 1 | turns are echelon style
39
Crossunder
Change sides | min of nose-tail clearance
40
Echelon Turn
visual signal required in fingertip 1 should be stable 180 lvl turn 60 bank and 2 G's 2 will have to lead roll 1 and add some power being outside turn to maintain position
41
Rejoins parameters
1 will fly 180 knots (tell 2 if more than 10 knots different) around 50% in Low Area 2 will have 20-30 knots overtake, and acquire angles/ visuals
42
Overshoots
excess energy during rejoins if seen early and corrected rejoin will be fine, but use idle/speed brake and pass under 1's low 6 with at least 2 ship lengths
43
Fighting Wing
Cone: 30-45 degree distance: 500-1000' aft
44
Engine start
use visuals (2 will give 1 thumbs up and 1 will give sunup signal)
45
Before taxi
After getting ATIS and before check give each other a thumbs, then check in on AUX and PRIME
46
Overspeed/ Before Takeoff/ Bullseye check
Perform Overspeed and B4 T/O automatically and give each other a thumbs up for good to go, 2 will turn on lights. Do bullseye check (" C/S Bullseye Check, 1, Radial/ DME")
47
Wing Takeoff requirements
500' and 1.5 SM vis or circling mins whichever is higher RWY 150' wide winds less than 15 knots X-wind Min power more than 85% for Takeoff
48
Wing Takeoff
place 2 upwind if more than 5 knots of wind each take center of their half of RWY 2 use fingertip line with 20' separation 1 will set 85-95% power
49
Interval Takeoff requirements
1500' and 3 SM vis | 75' RWY
50
Interval Takeoff
Similar to wingtip till after runup, 1 will perform max t/o and 2 will wait 6 sec and do the same once clear of pattern 1 will fly 160 and use 85-95% to allow 2 a power advantage
51
Instrument Trail takeoff
must have 30 sec delay between 1 and 2 2 will announce airborne on AUX use max, 160, 30 DOB till rejoined 1 and 2 will announce passing even thousand altitudes 2 will maintain 1000' separation till visual or unless 1 allows 500'
52
Wing Work LvLs
1: 0-30 DOB, +-10 P, 1-2 G, 120K min 2: 0-60 DOB, +- 25 P, 1-2 G, 120k Min 3: 0-90 DOB, +- 35 P, 1-3 G, 120K Min
53
Wing Work as 1
-Target energy: 180-200K (50%) 10.5-11 or 18 HA
54
Close Trail
- 1-2 ship lengths behind and below 1 | - similar to wing work
55
Pitchout spacing
2-3 sec delay :500-1000' 5-7 sec delay: 1500-2000' place 1 just above the horizon to avoid prop wash
56
Extended Trail LvL 1
Stable turns, 30-60 DOB, 2 G, 50 %
57
Extended Trail LvL 2
Turns, Modified Lazy 8, 120 DOB, Moderate (2-3), 85%
58
Extended Trail LvL 3
Modified Cuban, Lazy 8, barrel roll, loop, cloverleaf bank as required G as required 85%
59
What position is Extend Trail flown?
Fighting Wing 30-45 Degree Cone 500-1000' Aft
60
Extend Trail Bubble
300' from 1 and if 2 gets closer than this KIO immediately
61
Extended trail Slant range
500' slant range, momentary deviations are ok but should be fixed ASAP, if unable to fix call terminate
62
For 1 to perform over the top Extended Trail maneuvers what must be true?
-He must be visual with 2 and 2 must be in proper location
63
Minimum Airspeed for Extended trail
100 knots (give a buffer of 10-20 Knots)
64
Setup for Extended Trail
make calls and 1 will set max power/ turn away from 2. 2 will move into position and will call in, 1 will set 85% and begin maneuvering
65
Formation Recoveries 1 should never use less than what power setting
20% (use speed brake to assist in descents
66
if performing a overhead when should 1 move 2 to opposite of the break
prior to initial
67
1 will maintain what airspeed on approach
110 Knots
68
When should 2 stack level with 1
no earlier than going VMC or GSI, no later than 1/2 mile from RWY
69
Planned low approach no lower than
100' AGL
70
Wing landing RWY width
150'
71
Touch-n-go's allowed in formation
no
72
VOR/DME-E 1 will place 2 on what side
left
73
Iis a second formation approach authorized
Yes, if first attempt was denied or ended in low approach but must have been briefed, traffic pattern allows and approach/ landing required
74
what must be completed before a formation split
an Alpha check to ensure good navaids, and lead must coordinate with RAPCON. after lead must specifically tell 2 he's cleared off
75
Formation Go-around
1 will smoothly add power to 75% (let 2 know on AUX)
76
2 passing 1 on T/O
if 2 overruns 1, check in Max perform individual takeoff. Follow 1s direction or change lead
77
One A/C aborts T/O during wing T/O
that A/C will say "aborting" and other will check max and takeoff, if interval 2 should consider aborting also
78
If entire formation needs to abort whats the call
"C/S flight abort, abort, abort"
79
Three times when the 1 position is offered
Emergency occurs broke out of wx and able to go VFR on final with field in sight and clearance
80
Engine problem in formation
bad A/C will take lead and perform a PEL or Forced landing, chase A/C can stay or be sent ahead to check conditions (i.e. cloud bottoms, traffic pattern, RWY condition)
81
NORDO in formation
NORDO A/C will stay or go 2, while 1 coordinate for an overhead, if in fingertip and 2 goes NORDO move to route and give 1 visual signals, rock wings continuously if needed, if diverting show NORDO A/C pink pages
