Formation

Question 1

Route Form Visual Cues

Answer 1

Vertical - 1’s helmet on horizon

Longitudinal - between 3/9 line and 30 AA

Spacing - within 500’

Question 2

Fingertip Visual Cues

Answer 2

Vertical - exhaust stack on wing

Longitudinal - exhaust stack between aft wingtip light and pitot tube

Spacing - forward edge of horizontal stabilizer and rudder hinge aligned

Question 3

Crossunder Procedure

Answer 3

1. Reduce power and drop below 1
2. Add back power to stop lag
3. Bank slightly to change hdg a few degrees
4. Roll out and add power for nose-tail separation (1’s canopy bow on elevator trailing edge)
5. Reestablish 1’s hdg, add power to get back in position, reduce power to stay in position

Echelon Turn Procedure

Answer 4

• Bisect horizon and 1’s fuselage
• 1/2 yellow rescue food visible behind aft edge of wing

Correction:

• bank = vertical
• power = fore/aft
• back pressure = spacing
