11-2T6 Vol 3 Flashcards
Formation recovery 1’s power setting
20%
Should a BD check be done on every sortie
Yes
Formation Split
split-up in VMC, if practical, Advise RAPCON of the flights intention, Before the split, perform an ALPHA check
formation split in the pattern
wingman will ensure TAS is on, Squawk 0377
Simultaneous Instruments recovery
VOR/DME-E, If a straight-in is required, request recovery via RWY 15C/33C.
VOR/DME-E Formation Separation Maneuver
2 will be on the left, RWY in sight 1 will clear off 2, 1 access to 130K and 2 takes spacing w/out s-turns 120K min and for 15L go to downwind or 33R turn left to extended perch but remain in 1.7 NM
Can you land from VOR/DME-E in formation
NO
Initial fuel call
each A/C will call there own fuel
“Ripper 13 initial 1 400” “2 450” or one/neither could call gas
Formation Break Point Straight Through
Prior to turning crosswind, Lead will direct the flight to split up. The inside aircraft will turn crosswind at the departure end of the runway. The follow-on aircraft will take spacing as required.
Formation Go Around
Request a closed-in sequence or turn to crosswind while getting spacing (unless a formation around the pattern is approved by Cooter).
Is a second formation approach and landing attempt is authorized?
Yes, if the first request at radar entry point was denied or the approach ended in a low approach.
- briefed this option prior to step
- traffic situation permits
- The approach and landing are required to complete syllabus or continuation training requirements.
Requesting 2nd form approach
-Lead will ask Cooter for clearance to
proceed around the pattern for a second attempt
-The formation will carry straight through initial or make a low approach and proceed around the outside pattern. If Cooter is unable to grant the request abeam the 90 to initial point, the formation will proceed to the overhead break for landing.
Formation Abandon Approaches
Follow normal abandon approach procedures. The flight will split up before joining the VFR entry track
Recovery/Chase Procedures
The chase/escort aircraft will execute a low approach and make follow-on requests with RSU/Tower.
If anticipated minimum power at 60 kts is below 85 percent Torque
interval T/O
Do not request/pull up for closed
-Report High Key” and “Low Key,” or
orbiting at High key.
-With a straight-in between 5 and 2 miles
-With an aircraft on initial that has not begun the break
-When the previous traffic on closed downwind is a conflict and/or your aircraft is not abeam/past the active RSU
-Do not request closed until abeam or past the active RSU and at a safe airspeed (140 KIAS minimum)
Do not request low-key patterns
traffic between initial and the break, between 5 and 2 NM on a straight-in, or between “Report High Key” and “Low Key.”
Do not request High Key
An aircraft is between 5 and 2 NM
An aircraft is orbiting High Key
An aircraft is in the chase pattern
Abandon Approach
If clearance is not received before 3 miles or if directed to abandon approach, make a level turn toward the east. Maintain 1,500’ MSL and remain south of the Red River (RWY 15L) or southeast of the concrete pad (RWY 33R) until clear of the outside downwind. When clear of the outside downwind, follow the re-entry ground track
Straight-Through Initial
With a straight-in between 5 and 2 miles between “Report High Key” and “Low Key.” aircraft orbiting High key. When directed When unable to maintain spacing with aircraft already established on high, closed, or low-closed downwind
Traffic Pattern Priorities
Emergency aircraft Low closed min fuel formation radar entry established in pattern re-entry VFR entry point
Lead Change mins
- minimum altitude 500’ AGL
- Do not initiate a lead change with the wingman farther back than a normal fingertip or route position or greater than 30 degrees back from line abreast
- lead change can be safely initiated and visual contact maintained
Two-ship formation takeoffs require a minimum
150’ wide
For wing takeoffs, the ceiling and visibility must be
PWC, circling minimums, or 500 feet and 1 1/2 miles (whichever is higher)
