FORMS

Question 1

Interval Takeoff

Answer 1

• Lead takes downwind or left side (wind calm)
• Wing lines up middle of opposite side of runway on bearing line
• Lead passes run-up signal, wing acknowledges
• MRT checks, inspect other aircraft, thumbs up
• Wing rolls 7 seconds after lead

Question 2

Running Rendezvous

Answer 2

• Lead climbs with 92-94% power
• Wing places lead slightly above horizon
• At 250 knots, place lead on horizon, set abeam distance (250-300’, just outside HUD FOV)
• Fly straight line to bearing (300 kts max)
• 2000’ nose to tail (.3 DME) reduce power
• 1000’ nose to tail (.1 DME) 275 kts max
• 15 kts closure max when arriving on bearing line
• Once on bearing line, drive into parade

Question 3

TACAN Rendezvous

Answer 3

• Lead briefs break up, rendezvous point, then brakes up flight
• Lead calls his point, wing calls TACAN DME
• Wing stays 500’ below lead until on bearing with fuselages aligned
• Wing calls “visual” when lead is in sight
• Use lead/lag method to align fuselages
• On bearing w/ fuselages aligned, climb to altitude and proceed with CV join up

Question 4

CV Rendezvous

Answer 4

• 30 deg AOB turn
• Maximum 10 knots of closure within 1000’
• Once on bearing line, reduce AOB to avoid going acute
• On bearing and within 100’ (3 wingspans) begin joinup by increasing stepdown (15’) and flying 10’ nose to tail
• Pause momentarily on lead’s radius of turn, then move up into VFR turn away position

Question 5

Parade position

Answer 5

• 30 deg bearing, 5’ step down, 3’ lateral separation
• sight line down leading edge of wing (bearing)
• see equal parts of top and bottom wing (stepdown)
• FWD stab tip lined up with exhaust can (lateral distance)
• A-B-C Use Pitch for stepdown, power for bearing, AOB for lateral seperation
• Remain relaxed, scan leads entire aircraft, keep aircraft trimmed

Question 6

VFR Turn Away position

Answer 6

• Wing rotates about his own longitudinal axis, leads fuselage on horizon, triangle formed with canopy bow, rail, and wing leading edge

Question 7

Cross-under (Box type)

Answer 7

• Wing uses power and altitude to simultaneously move back and down for 10’ nose to tail, 15’ stepdown
• Power to stop aft movement
• wing dip then level, + power
• wing dip towards lead to stop
• power up pitch up to drive fwd into parade

Question 8

Breakup and Rendezvous

Answer 8

• 250 or 300 kts
• Lead passes signal, wing acknowledges
• Lead breaks away for 180 deg of turn, 14-15 units
• Wing breaks after 2 seconds, keeps lead on horizon, varies G to arrive at 1000’ nose to tail seperation
• Wing arrives 1000’ behind lead, stepped up, on airspeed (15 min check)
• Lead waits 10 seconds then begins 30 deg AOB turn
• Once outside HUD FOV, wing banks for 45 deg, adds power as required (+10 kts max)
• Altitude - keeps lead on horizon
• Bearing - Vertical stab over outside wing tip
• Reduce AOB when arriving on leads bearing line and align fuselages
• Begin join when 100’ away (3 plane lengths) below and behind
• Pause on leads radius of turn (15’ step down, 10’ nose to tail)
• Move up into VFR turn away position

Question 9

Interval Takeoff Abort

Answer 9

Wing only sympathetic aborts below 80 KIAS

• Maintian your side of the runway
• Transmit “clear” to clear lead for the gear

Question 10

Underrun

Answer 10

• Lower, level, idle, boards, below and behind, transmit,

- 200’ abeam (3/9 line) stepped up until cleared back in

Question 11

Section Break

Answer 11

• Establish Parade wing opposite breaking direction

- 4 second break interval or as briefed
