E. Both A and B.
E. Both A and B.
During formation engine run-up
Primary focus of attention should be outside the aircraft with only short glances inside the cockpit.
Route is flown from ___ spacing out to approximately ___, no further aft than ___, and no further forward than ___.
Two ship-widths, 500 feet, the extended fingertip line, line abreast

30-45 degrees, 4000-6000
Maintain _____ and ___ flaps throughout a circling maneuver until aligned with the landing runway
Final turn speed, 60%.
Normally, there is no need to close an IFR flight plan with FSS because the tower
should do this for you, whether you are at a military or civilian field
True
For a restricted military power climb, unless accomplishing a formation rejoin, begin a smooth power reduction out of MAX between _____ KCAS and terminate afterburner by _____ KCAS.
220-280, 300
The standard VASI and PAPI have a ____ degree glideslope and a glidepath intercept point (aimpoint) approximately ___ feet beyond the runway threshold
2.5 - 3, 750.
On normal inside downwind, slow to no less than ____.
final turn airspeed.
Prior to beginning the final turn, ensure the landing gear is down and locked and the
flaps have traveled a sufficient amount to ensure no asymmetry exists.
True
With gusty winds increase the final approach and landing speed by ____ the gust factor
1/2
For a normal aerobrake, increase pitch attitude to approximately ___ degrees
10 - 12.
When the crosswind component exceeds 15 knots
A. Plan to touch down on the upwind side of the runway.
B. Maintain the landing attitude and do not aerobrake.
After practicing an alternate landing gear extension, reset the landing gear system by
moving the gear handle
Down, then up, and then back to the down position.
When accomplishing a full aft stick stall, discontinue the exercise and recover the
aircraft when
Bank angle exceeds 90 degrees. AND/OR Bank angle stabilizes over 60 degrees.
Fly slow flight at an airspeed __ knots below computed final approach speed
(approximately __ AOA).
10, 0.7.
When given the ‘Admin’ lead, the particular member of the flight is expected to:
A. Navigate.
B. Communicate with outside agencies.
C. Make changes to the profile if external conditions dictate; however, the flight lead retains ultimate authority for the formation
Wingmen will acknowledge “push” frequency changes with call sign and will not acknowledge “go” frequency changes
False
Once in position on the runway, use a thumbs-up to signal ready for engine run-up
False
During a 3-ship/4-ship rejoin, if overshooting, preceding aircraft will inform the other
wingman with a radio call.
True
Line abreast (tactical) formation is defined as ____ feet line abreast to __ degrees aft with a vertical stack of up to +/- ____ feet.
4000-6000, 10, 2000
The 4-ship box is essentially two elements flying line abreast tactical separated in trail by ______ with the rear element normally stacking either high or low.
6,000-9,000’.
For hook turns in 4-ship box/offset box, when lead directs “Card 21, Hook Left/Right”, the trailing element will end up in front of the lead element.
False
All three/four-ship tactical rejoins will be called on the radio and acknowledged
True
When departing from a non-military field, you must contact the nearest FSS (or
coordinate through the tower) with your actual departure time so that you do not arrive
unannounced at your destination only if departing VFR.
False
Aspect Angle (AA) is
The angle measured from the tail/longitudinal axis of one aircraft to another aircraft’s
position
Angle-off is defined as
The angle formed by the extension of the longitudinal axes of two aircraft.
Closure is:
Overtake created by airspeed and/or angles.
