Downwind criteria for spacing & altitude…
approx. 1 1/2 mile, wingtip on rwy (no wind); usually 1500 ft AGL
Minimum airspeed for closed turn
160 KIAS
Normal landing zone:
500 to 2000 ft down the rwy
(Formation) Lead’s responsibilities:
Clearing, planning, know wingman’s capabilities, be smooth
(Formation) Wingman’s responsibilities
Keep lead in sight, attempt to maintain precise position
Lost wingman, wings level:
Turn 45 degrees away, using 30 degrees of bank, for 10 seconds, then turn back to initial heading
Lost wingman, outside the turn:
Roll wings level, inform lead, and continue straight ahead. Level off.
Lost wingman, inside the turn:
Maintain the turn, instruct lead to roll out. Level off.
Lost wingman, low level:
Set MCT, lead climbs at 250 KIAS to ERAA, wing climbs at 220 KIAS to ERAA + 1000, to get 1 mile spacing
Lost wingman, cell:
Climb or level off to obtain 1000 ft of separation.
A/A TACAN channels must be __ channels apart
63
