Route vertical stack

Level, put lead's head on horizon

Number 1 blind radio call

Texan 1 blind, (altitude); Texan 2 maintain (altitude)

Blind ex. bank angle and turn

45 degree bank 90 degree turn

Extended trail bubble

300 feet

Extended trail minimum airspeed

ET setup radio call

Viking next set extended trail level 1 for 2

Begin ET radio call

Texan 2 go ET level 1

Time between break for landing

5 seconds

Number 1 lands on which side of the runway

cold side

Formation touchdown zone

1000 feet down runway

Formation go around

Number 1 adds power to approximately 75 percent

Interval takeoff abort

2 aborts if below abort speed but continues takeoff if above abort speed

Element abort

Number 1 directs formation abort with radio call "Texan Flight, abort abort abort"

NORDO

NORDO aircraft takes number 2. NORDO get attention by rocking wings in the air

Diversion signal when NORDO

flash pink pages

When may 2 report same after ops check

within 50 lbs and .5 G

When may 2 report same on bullseye check

within 1 mile and 3 degrees

NORDO visual signal

wave hand in front of ear or mouth

NORDO deconfliction plan

1 takes LOA (lower, odd, a sector) 2 takes HEB (higher, even, b sector)

May formation sorties continue with an intercom failure?

Yes but only the IP may fly

May formation members change from AUX before shutdown?

VFR pattern wingman position

outside of all turns

Visual signal prior to executing break

pitchout and 5 fingers

Wingwork standards

3 leaves each side with a crossunder

Pitchout standard

180 degree turn

Rejoin standards

one straight ahead and one turning, when rejoin directed from ET 2 goes to the 3 position

Tactical standards

two delayed 90 degree turns

Formation cross wind limit

15 knots

Formation minimum runway width

150

Minimum ceiling and visibility for formation wing takeoff

500 feet 1.5 miles or circling mins, whichever is higher

Formation takeodf runway must be clear of

standing water, ice, slush, and snow

When must formations accomplish an interval takeoff?

whenever calculated torque at 60 is less than 85

Interval takeoff ceiling and vis requirement

1500 and 3

minimum altitude for lead change

500 feet

Interval takeoff runway width requirement

75 feet

Are formation touch and go wing landings permitted?

May solo students fly wing landings?

May solo students fly wing takeoffs?

When should you call KIO

dangerous situation, SA is lost, area boundary, minimum cloud separation, minimum altitude, minimum range, over G or over speed, radio failure (continuous wing rock), bingo fuel, traffic in the area, bubble or 3/9 line breached in ET

When to call terminate

Bingo fuel, desired learning objectives met, aircraft is out of position, any player calls terminate

ET minimum altitude

6000 AGL

May formations enter the pattern from vfr entry points?

Who makes the in the break call for formation overheads?

the last wingman

Lead min power setting in fingertip on recovery

20%

3 times to terminate

1. learning objectives accomplished. 2. reaching joker/bingo. 3. number 2 is outside formation parameters

can you go over the top without 2 in sight?

lowest altitude you can reach on formation low approach

100 feet

formation missed approach

lost wingman turns away, ensures separation, continues the MA procedure a flies 500 feet above MA altitude

Times to breakout

Sight, Hazard, In front, Told to

What should 2 squawk on instrument trail departure?

1000

What should 1 call out during instrument trail departure?

Even altitudes and when clear of the weather

When should 2 assume stack level position on recovery?

at descent

assume stack level no later than

1/2 mile from the end of runway

Formation abandon approach

fly the normal ground track but split the formation

Maximum separation outside of MOA

6000 feet horizontal and 100 feet vertical

min power setting while not in fingertip on recovery

Trick question 0%

How should you treat the aircraft while flying formation?

Like the dirty whore who wants to get fucked that she is

What are the three times the number 1 position should be offered after an emergency?

1. when the emergency occurs. 2. on recovery when below the weather anf able to navigate VFR to the field. 3. when on final with the field in sight

Four steps to formation emergency

1. KIO 2. Path deconflict 3. Take or pass the lead 4. Send 2 to chase
