Common errors for loose deuce exercise

Problem: wingman fails to react to lead's "Hard

right/left turn" call

Correction: turn aircraft upon lead's order

Problem: free fighter fails to acquire visual on

engaged fighter after reversal (usually in high

cover)

Corrective action: respond to lead's instructions

of where to look and, if necessary, how to fly

the aircraft in order to reacquire visual

expeditiously
