114
14. How should number 2 be positioned during turns in route formation? (C/2/3)
a. Maintain echelon vertical reference for turns awayb. During turns toward, descend as necessary to keep number 1 in sight and remain below number 1’s flight path
115
15. What are the three types of formation pursuit? (D/1/1)
Lead –Velocity vector in front of number 1 Pure – Velocity vector pointed at number 1 Lag – Velocity vector behind number 1
116
16. How will number 1 signal a turning rejoin? (D/1/2)
Number 1 will rock wings or use radio
117
17. When is number 1 required to call out airspeed during a rejoin? (D/1/3)
Number 1 should call airspeed changes greater than 10 KIAS from prebriefed airspeed.
118
18. While flying a turning rejoin you notice an excessive rate of closure. What should you do? (D/1/4)
An overshoot
119
19. What are the maneuvering limitations associated with close trail? (D/1/5)
Approximately 90° angle of bank, 2 - 3 Gs, and minimum of 120 knots
120
20. What are the procedures for the lost wingman on final approach? (D/1/6)
-Momentarily turn away from number 1 -Climb to FAF or glideslope intercept altitude -Inform number 1 and obtain a separate clearance -Fly new clearance or published missed
121
21. How do you do a formation missed approach? (D/2/1)
a. Number 1 sets 75% power, establishes climb, retracts gear and flaps b. Number 2 maintains stack position and anticipates gear and flaps up
122
2. Which crew is responsible for keeping the formation within assigned airspace and accomplishing the mission profile?
Number 1
123
3. What is the hand signal for the number eight?
a
124
4. On wing formation takeoff roll, number 1 should set power to _____% torque.
85-95
125
5. During a wing takeoff, if number 1 aborts after brake release, what action should number 2 normally take?
Number 2 should continue the takeoff
126
6. As number 1 of an interval takeoff, when the gear and flaps are retracted, maintain ____ KIAS until number 2 is in position.
160
127
7. What is the maximum angle of bank to be used during an echelon turn?
60°
128
8. During turns away in route formation, what vertical reference should number 2 maintain?
The same vertical reference as an echelon turn
129
9. An overshoot in normally indicated by arriving in route with ________.
too much closure rate and/or too much angle off
130
10. During recovery, a NORDO aircraft in formation should normally fly the ______ position.
number2
131
11. During an IMC turn toward you as number 2, you lose sight of number 1. What should you do?
Reduce power and tell number 1 to roll out.
132
12. During a traffic pattern and landing from a break, what side of the runway should number 1 land on?
The downwind side
133
13. Where is the nose of the aircraft pointing if you are in lead pursuit?
Ahead of the number 1 aircraft
