Formation, 11-248 Flashcards
What are lead’s primary flight responsibilities?
Clear
Plan ahead
Monitor #2
Navigation
Communication
What are number 2’s primmary flight responsibilities?
Do not hit #1
Keep #1 in sight
Stay in position and on frequency
Clear for the formation
Back up #1
If in fingertip and directed to change radio frequency, which position should be flown?
If in VMC move to route position - else stay in fingertip
Which is a correct traffic call:
A. “Viking 1, traffic 2 o’clock, 3 miles, high”
B. “Viking 1, traffic right, 3 miles, high”
C. “Viking 1, traffic right 2 o’clock, high”
D. “Viking 1, traffic right 2 o’clock, 3 miles, high”
D. “Viking 1, traffic right 2 o’clock, 3 miles, high”
When is it required to do an OPS Check during formation in the MOA?
After the GX
After each set of FM
Periodically during the sortie
After each set of ET
How close can #2 be to #1 during a BD check?
Nose-tail separation must be maintained
What should all members of a formation do if a KIO call is heard for the formation?
1 continues the current maneuver without changing PWR setting
Clear the flight path
Cease maneuvering
Acknowledge KIO
Stay visual or call blind
When should a KIO call be used?
When should a Terminate call be used?
KIO: Safety of flight, confusion.
Terminate is used when safety is NOT a factor
What shall #1 do if #2 calls “Lost Wingman”?
Immediately perform appropriate procedure
Acknowledge Lost Wingman call
Transmit aircraft attitude
What are the appropriate Lost Wingman procedures:
- Level
- Outside of the turn
- Inside of the turn
- On IAP final approach
- On IAP Missed Approach
- 15 deg for 15 sec - back on hdg
- reverse turn 15 deg for 15 sec - straight - turn when separated
- Reduce pwr momen. and tell #1 to roll out
- Turn away from lead and climb to FAF altitude - get sep clx
- Turn moment away from #1 and climb MAP alt + 500 feet
When should #2 break out of a formation?
H - Hazard to the formation
I - In front of or under lead
T - Told to break out
S - SA lost
How much altitude deconfliction shall be obtained during a double blind situation in the MOA?
1.000’ separation
Which position should the new #2 take after a lead change?
The new #2 should take up the position from which the lead change was initiated - so if lead change was initiated in fingertip the new #2 should go into fingertip after the lead change.
What are the #2’s references for flying fingertip position:
- Stack?
- Fore/aft?
- Lateral spacing?
- Exhaust stack on top of the wing
- Position light in front of and pitot tube behind exhaust stack
- Forward edge of horisontal stab aligned with rudder hinge
- What are the route position parameters?
- And max bank angle?
- Can #2 swap sides during route position
- 2 ship width to 500 feet
Line abreast to 30 degrees aft
Level with lead
- App. 60 degrees of bank
- No - maintain same side.
Do you need to break out during a straight ahead rejoin if passing the 3/9 line?
No, not if it is small, controlled, flight paths are not convergent and lead is in sight
Which separation should you keep during an overshoot during a turning rejoin? What is minimum spacing not requiring a break out?
2 ship lengths
Nose-tail separation
