DRAFT
Shuffle Division
Since all division formation flights will have a dedicated lead, there is no "lead" change. In order to
reorder the division so students get practice in all positions, a "shuffle" will be accomplished from a
balanced parade formation. The lead will transmit over the radio, "Dash-2, you are now 4." Upon
hearing this, Dash-2 responds, "Roger," and moves aft and down laterally, performing the first half of
a "V" crossunder on the lead. Continue the motion to move in a straight diagonal line across the
formation. The line should pass through the column position of each aircraft (see Figure 41).
Complete the maneuver by executing the second half of a "V" crossunder on the new Dash-3.
When the former Dash-2 passes behind the last aircraft and completes the crossunder to join up in
parade position as Dash-4, the lead will commence the entire division formation sequence again
beginning with crossunders.
