25
Wings level lost wingman
15 degree turn away for 15 seconds then resume heading and proceed on separate clearance
26
Lead Change Procedure
Move out to route Acknowledge with head nod or radio call when abeam Squawk ALT and turn on TAS
27
Heading Crossing Angle is also referred to as
Angle Off
28
Aspect Angle
6 o’clock position = 0 aspect 3-9 o’clock (wings) = 90 aspect
29
What is the lift vector?
A vector always pointed straight through the top of the canopy (Use CFS cord as visual)
30
Velocity vector is
Where the aircraft is going (NOT where it is pointed) Controlled by changing airspeed
31
AFT LOS
Aircraft is moving aft in the canopy
32
Forward LOS
aircraft is moving forward in the canopy
33
Lead Pursuit
AA and closure will increase HCA will decrease AFT LOS - No LOS (or minimal FWD LOS)
34
Pure Pursuit
Initially creates closure that diminishes over time Initially no LOS AA = HCA Eventually becomes LAG with diminishing AA
35
LAG Pursuit
AA Decreases HCA Increases
36
Fingertip Description
10 feet of wingtip separation 6 AA
37
Fingertip Spacing Correction Priorities
Stack (pitch) Line (power) Spacing
38
Route Spacing
two ship widths No more than 500 feet No further aft the 6 AA Level Stack (helmet on horizon)
39
Crossunder Description
Signaled by a shallow dip in direction of crossunder or radio call Maintain nose-tail separation Keep canopy bow on #1s tail Pull a little power to get FWD LOS then a few degrees of HCA
40
Echelon Turn
Use bank to correct vertical Power to correct fore and aft Back pressure to maintain spacing
41
Reforms
Used to bring #2 in from close trail, fighting wing, or route. Reforms may be to route or fingertip
42
Rejoins
Practiced from pitchouts after #2 has taken spacing
43
Standard rejoin airspeed
180 KIAS
44
When does #1 have to call out current airspeed on a rejoin?
If it varies by more than 10 knots
45
What side do you perform a rejoin unless directed otherwise?
Left
46
How much overtake should you use in a straight ahead rejoin?
20-30 knots. Make a bid at 500 feet on 0AA (when you see pitot tubes) Reduce PCL at same rate of AFT LOS
47
Turning Rejoin
Normally accomplished inside the turn @ 30 degrees of bank Start by using 20-30 knots of closure and lead pursuit
48
Straight ahead rejoin overshoot
Maintain lateral spacing on a divergent HCA No need to breakout if flight paths are divergent
49
Turning Rejoin Overshoot
Plan to cross under #1s 6 oclock with two ship lengths. If unable to maintain two ship lengths..breakout
50
Fighting Wing Desciption
30-45 degree cone 500-1000 feet aft
51
When do you place number two on the outside of the turn for wing takeoff?
IMC and winds less than 5 knots
52
When do you place number 2 on the inside of a turn during a wing takeoff?
VMC and winds less than 5 KTS
53
What side is number 2 on for wing takeoffs with winds greater than 5 kts?
Upwind You wingman takes the fat (chick) side of the sock
54
Minimum wingtip distance during wing takeoff?
20 feet
55
Instrument Trail Departure
no less than 20 secs spacing 160 KIAS 30 degrees of bank
56
Wing work level 1

58
Wing Work Level 3
90 AOB +/- 35 Pitch 3GS 120 KIAS min
59
Close Trail
1-2 aircraft lengths Can be directed from fingertip, route, or echelon
60
How long must you maintain stack level on a wing takeoff?
Until gear and flaps are up
61
Pitchout
Level 180 degree turn to provide spacing 2-3 sec delay = 500-1000 feet 5-7 sec delay = 1500-2000 feet
62

Must have 2 ship-lengths behind lead
76
Chase Ship Position
30-60 degree cone 1000 feet Will not stack lower than lead below 1000AGL
77
6 factors that have caused a collision
Failure of #1 to monitor #2 Failure to execute lost wingman Failure to recognize overtake Failure to maintain separation Failure to call blind and maneuver to safest direction Failure to consider wingtip vortices
