Form Flashcards
Angle off
- Where velocity vectors of each aircraft cross
- Also known as HCA (heading crossing angle)
1 primary responsibility
- Clear for traffic
- monitor 2
- plan
2 primary responsibility
- dont hit 1, deconflict within formation (keep 1 in sight/be in position)
- clear for flight
- be on correct freq
- back up coms
Position of fighting wing
30-45 deg cone, 500-1000’
T/F: #2 can only transition through #1’s 6 o’clock
T
Hand signal for climb check
Cup hand over oxygen mask followed by an okay sign
If #1 directs #2 to breakout, who has responsibility for deconfliction?
1 is responsible for
- safe separation/deconfliction until acknowledgement
- visual contact
- altitude seperation
What does #1 do if KIO is called?
- Continues the current maneuver without changing power setting
What does #2 do if terminate is called?
1 will smoothly transition to a shallow turn or wings level until #2 has attained desired form parameters
Visual signal for KIO
continuous, shallow, rapid, wing rock
Visual signal for “attention in the air”
rapid shallow wing rock
Visual signal for reform or tighten
non-continuous slow wing rock
Takeoff conditions for form takeoff
no ice, snow, slush, or standing water
(CAN BE WET)
Wx mins for form takeoff
circling mins, 500-1, whichever is greater
cross under seperation
nose-tail
torque for MAP
75%
lost wingman procedure for MAP
- momentarily turn away, climb to MAP alt plus 500 ft
Wing work maneuver limits
- 90 deg bank
- 120 kts
- 2-3 Gs
