11-2T-6 Vol 3 Flashcards
What is min altitude for a lead change?
500’ AGL
When should you not initiate a lead change?
Wingman further back than normal fingertip or route or greater than 30 deg back from LAB (does not include emergency)
Two ship form takeoffs require what runway width?
150’ minimum
For formation wing takeoffs what must ceiling and vis be?
500’ and 1 1/2 mi or circling mins whichever is higher
What’s the max crosswind component for wing takeoff?
15 knots and free of standing water, ice, slush or snow
What must be ceiling and vis for an interval takeoff?
Greater than or equal to 1500’ and 3 mi
When must formations do an interval takeoff?
Whenever calculated min power at 60 KIAS is less than 85% torque
What’s min runway width did two ship formation interval takeoffs?
75’
Planned formation low approaches will be initiated no lower than what?
100’ AGL
What’s min weather for a drag maneuver?
1500’ ceiling and 3 miles visibility. Must maintain VMC from drag point to landing
Prior to initiating a VMC drag maneuver while operating IFR what must flight lead do?
Coordinate with ATC for a non standard formation.
What is min spacing for a VMC drag maneuver?
3000’ unless greater us briefed.
What if the spacing is in question for a VMC drag maneuver?
Wingman will go around or execute a missed approach, notify ATC and comply with local procedures
Can you fly less than final approach airspeed or use S turns during a VMC drag maneuver?
Absolutely not!
The latest drag point for a VMC drag separation is what?
Enough to give adequate time for the wingman to have required separation and flight lead to slow to final approach airspeed NLT 3 nm from runway (or separation prior to the FAF or GS intercept).
