Q

Blind procedures:

A

Blind procedures:
-If 1 is blind, transmit “C/S, blind XXXX altitude” and maintain a predictable flight path. 2 will either call “continue” and state position, or call “KIO” followed by “blind”

Q

How do you respond to a Lost Wingman situation while on Final Approach?

How do you respond to a Lost Wingman situation while on Missed Approach?

A

Lost wingman will momentarily turn away to ensure clearance, inform 1, and continue to the MAP +500’

37
Q

How do you respond to a Spatial Disorientation situation?

Give controls to other pilot. If transfer of controls is not an option, confirm attitude with other crewmember or airplane. If symptoms persist, terminate mission and recover. If number 2 is SD, number 1 should fly straight and level for 30-60 seconds

38
Q

-2 rejoins to the inside of the first turn out of traffic

41
Q

Instrument Trail

A

-20 second spacing minimum (for takeoff and turns airborne)
