Figure 7-5 Division Takeoff - One Runway

Division Interval Go. This procedure is used when conditions do not permit a section go. The

division may use one of the above line-up scenarios. In addition, the lead may brief an echelon

line-up in the normal takeoff area with DASH-4 at the hold short ready to take the runway as

soon as space permits. The division aircraft will initiate their takeoff rolls in order, in

accordance with the SOP mandated intervals. Once the last plane to launch is clean, the student

in that jet will call "4's airborne" on UHF. This will be the lead student's cue to contact

Departure.

NOTE

In every division takeoff scenario the lead will need to know that

each aircraft's run ups are successfully completed. If DASH-3 is

not in a position to pass a thumbs-up to lead, a "3's set" call on

UHF will be made by the IP. DASH-3 will make this call once a

thumbs- up is signaled from DASH-4. This call will be the lead's

cue that the second section is ready for takeoff.

Division Departure

As in a two-plane running rendezvous, each division student will be expected to monitor closure

and join-up airspeeds during a division rendezvous. After takeoff, the flight will normally

rendezvous in parade at 250 KIAS and the lead will place the flight in a pre-briefed formation,
