Figure 6-6 NAV Turn Away

CHAPTER SIX

SECTION LOW ALTITUDE TACTICS AND PROCEDURES

Nav Turns Away from the wingman will be

executed as follows:

1. Lead will initiate a Nav Turn Away with an

exaggerated wing flash.

The wingman then starts a turn into lead.

3. Once the wingman is established in his turn

and has completed the desired heading change,

lead will commence a turn into the wingman.

4. Seeing the lead commence a turn into him

after only 30 - 60 degrees of heading change, the

wingman rolls out commensurate with a cruise

turn.

5. Lead continues his turn into the wingman

until a track-crossing angle of 90 is established

and then rolls out. As the wingman's aircraft

passes through lead's 4 - 5 or 7 - 8 o'clock

position, lead will clear the section's 6 o'clock

visually and then execute a turn to the new desired

course.

The wingman ensures deconfliction.

A Nav Turn Into the wingman will provide the section 30 - 60 degrees of heading change

towards the wingman while maintaining the tactical formation position (Figure 6-7).
