Q

Different procedures for Lost Wingman?

A
  • Wings level: #2 turns away using 15 degrees for 15 seconds. #2 then resumes heading and proceeds on separate clearance
    • Turns (inside): #2 reduces power for nose-tail, then tells #1 roll out. #2 maintains bank and gets separate clearance
    • Turns (outside): #2 reverses turn, 15 deg/15 seconds. Informs #1. #2 rolls out, continues straight ahead, and ensures separation before separate clearance
    • Precision & Non-precision approach: #2 turns away from #1 briefly and climbs to FAF or glide slope intercept altitude. #2 goes to MAP and contacts approach.
    • Missed Approach: #2 momentarily turns away, tells #1, then continues to MAP while climbing 500 feet above missed approach altitude. #2 separate clearance.

Q

How does practice lost wingman work?

A

1 directs. “Ripper 2, go practice lost wingman.” “2”.

#2 can wait a few seconds. Optional “Ripper 1 roll out.” Definitely say “Ripper 2 lost wingman.”
#1 responds with attitude with bank angle. “2”.
“Ripper 2 visual.”
Rejoin coordinated

Q

How does responsibility for separation work during a breakout?

If #1 directs breakout, #1 is responsible for all that

Q

How does the lead change work?

A

Go to route
If formation is in route or greater spacing, #1 may use radio to transfer lead
If lead change directed w/ radio, respond w/ radio
Flight stays in position after lead change (route stays in route)
New #1 uses TAS and squawk

Q

How to finish straight ahead rejoin

A 
- 500 feet (see pitot tubes)
		○ Make a bid slightly away from #1 2-4 ship widths away
		○ Decrease overtake w/ power reduction
		○ Arrive in route co-speed (0 LOS)
Move into fingertip
30
Q

How does turning rejoin start?

A

1 - first wing dip in direction of rejoin - 30 deg bank

31
Q

Visual references for turning rejoin?

A
  • 248 - put #1 2 widths above horizon (Schmid technique is 4)
  • Move until no LOS once SA is in the saddle
32
Q

How to fix aspect during turning rejoin

A

On rejoin line, if vertical stab moves towards wingtip, AA is increasing, and bank angle might need to decrease. If stab moves towards wing root, AA is decreasing, and bank angle might need to increase

33
Q

When to drop down to fingertip references during turning rejoin?

A

Once inside route (arrive co-speed)

34
Q

How does straight ahead overshoot work?

A
  • Maintain lateral spacing
    • Do not turn into #1 while looking
      A 3/9 break is easily managed with power reduction
35
Q

How does turning overshoot work?

A
  • A TJ w/ excessive closure airspeed results in a combo overshoot in a POM about 50 feet lower than #1
    • Try to cross #1 6 o clock w/ 2 ship widths spacing
    • Breakout if unable to maintain nose-tail
    • On outside, DO NOT FLY HIGHER THAN ROUTE ECHELON
  • Don’t have too much back pressure
36
Q

What is the fighting wing cone?

A

30-45 degree cone 500-1000 feet

37
Q

How is fighting wing initiated?

A

Only w/ radio: “Ripper 2 go fighting wing”

38
Q

Reference for 45 AA (applies to fighting wing)?

A

45AA is when #1 vertical stab is superimposed over the opposite wingtip or the inside wingtip strobe light just forward of the spinner

39
Q

Chase position?

A

30-60 degree cone out to 1000 feet

48
Q

Procedures for instrument trail

A

Same through run up
No less than 20 second spacing
160 KIAS & 30 deg bank in MAX
Both call when passing even-thousands & all heading changes
#2 will delay all turns by the time delay
Maintain 1k separation until visual. Can be reduced to 500
If no visual by level off, 1k separation until visual

49
Q

Wing Work level parameters

A 
I: 30 deg, 10 pitch, 1-2 G
II: 60 deg, 25 pitch, 1-2 G
III: 90 deg, 35 pitch, 1-3 G
120 KIAS min
Technique: 60% works better than 50%
Blend pitch w/ roll
Hold bank as nose passes through horizon
Pull through horizon wings-level
Either climb or descent is fine to start (climb better, don't descend into to start)
50
Q

How do you react to turns away in fingertip?

A

Increase back pressure and climb. More power

When #1 stops the roll, #2 must reduce power as the relative climb is complete

51
Q

How do you react to turns into in fingertip?

A

Add slight pressure forward and reduce power

52
Q

Position for close trail

A

1-2 ship widths
#1 elevator should be 1/3 out to the wings (just past dihedral break)
Stack right on top of wing
Also imagine wingtips b/w AOA indexer & mag compass

53
Q

Which side to reform after close trail?

A

Left

54
Q

Turn and bank angle during pitchout?

A

60 deg bank, 180 degrees

55
Q

Separation during pitchout?

A

2-3 seconds will give 500-1000 separation

5-7 seconds will give 1500-2000

56
Q

Visual references for ET?

A

300 feet: width of AOA indexer
500 feet: 2/3 of AOA indexer (letters discernible but numbers not so much)
1000: 2x size of wingtip flash guard (tail flash not visible)

57
Q

A

3/9 line & 300 foot bubble

58
Q

Parameters for ET?

A

I: turns, 30-60 deg bank, 2 G’s, 50%
II: lazy 8, 120 deg bank, moderate G, 85-MAX

A

“Lag at bottom, lead at top”

60
Q

Technique for turns in ET?

A
  • Turns away: Keep #1 in pure (point to inside wing). Pull with him w/ aligned fuselages
    Turns into: Keep #1 in pure until getting close. Then, make a bid to 6 or less back stick pressure. Then, quickly align fuselages and pull hard
61
Q

How does the blind exercise work?

A

180 KIAS
50% torque or so
Both a/c turn 90 deg off using 45 DOB
#2 calls blind w/ altitude
#1 then calls blind with altitude and establishes 1k separation
#1 coordinates (“reference heading” “reference center radial/DME”)
Call visual w/ position

62
Q

Lowest power setting for #1 on recovery?

A

20%

63
Q

Overhead procedures

A
  • Put #2 on side opposite direction of break
    • # 2 normally waits 5 seconds before break#1 lands on cold side if x winds are no factor
64
Q

What happens if #2 is on inside of closed turn?

A

“Ripper 2, you are cleared off” w/ pitchout signal

65
Q

Speed for form approach?

A

110 (120 for instrument approach)

66

Q

Formation Go Around & Formation Missed Approach power setting

A

75%

68
Q

When is lead offered in an emergency?

A
  • When emergency occurs
  • On recovery below weather and able to navigate VFR
  • On final w/ field in sight
69
Q

Procedure for #1 if #2 calls spatial D?

A

1 can give attitude, bank, etc. SLUF for 30-60 seconds. Then VMC if possible. If it gets too bad, lost wingman

70
Q

What to do if NORDO?

A

NORDO - go to #2. In fingertip, #2 goes to route and attracts attention of #1
- If farther than route, rejoin to route then rock wings, then visual signals
If diversion necessary, show pink pages followed by # of diversion base
