-
What are the three primary number 1 responsibilities during formation flight?
- Clearing for the flight
- Planning
- Monitoring number 2
-
How does number 1 accomplish a frequency change during formation flight?
-
What are the characteristics of proper visual signals in formation flight?
- Appropriate time
- Contrasting background
- Acknowledgment
- Current flight condition
-
What are the number 1 and number 2 responsibilities for clearing in formation flight?
- Number 1:
- 1) Clears for the flight
- 2) Knows number 2’s position
- 3) Loosens formation to help clear if require
- Number 2:
- 1) Knows number 1’s position
- 2) Helps clear flight
- 3) Stays aware
-
When should number 1 retract the gear and flaps during a formation takeoff?
After checking number 2 is safely airborne and passing 110 KIAS minimum
-
If number 1 aborts a formation takeoff after brake release, what should number 2 do?
- For interval takeoff, number 2 also aborts
- for wing takeoff, number will continue
-
What are the restrictions and procedures for an interval takeoff?
- Minimum weather 1500 feet and 3 miles
- Number 1 uses full power until 160 KIAS
- Number 2 delays 6 seconds
- Number 2 uses full power for takeoff
- Straight ahead or turning rejoin
-
What are the three steps used to correct formation position?
- Small input to initiate the correction
- Observe the reaction to the correction
- Adjust the correction as necessary
-
What parameters define route position?
- Line abreast to 30° line
- Slightly below
- Two ship widths to 500 feet
-
How will number 1 signal a turning rejoin?
Number 1 will rock wings or use radio
-
When is number 1 required to call out airspeed during a rejoin?
Number 1 should call airspeed changes greater than 10 KIAS from prebriefed airspeed.
-
While flying a turning rejoin you notice an excessive rate of closure. What should you do?
An overshoot
-
What are the procedures for the lost wingman on final approach?
- 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
-
How do you do a formation missed approach?
- Number 1 sets 75% power, establishes climb, retracts gear and flaps
- Number 2 maintains stack position and anticipates gear and flaps up
-
on wing formation takeoff roll, number 1 should set power to _____% torque.
85-95%
-
During turns away in route formation, what vertical reference should number 2 maintain?
The same vertical reference as an echelon turn
-
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.
