Figure 19: LEVEL ATTACKS ON LOW-LEVELS
EGRESS
If egress is in the same direction as the initial attack heading (see Figure 19), Lead will, immediately after
the simulated delivery, perform a level 14 unit AOA, 90-degree turn to the side Wing was on prior to the
"Action" call. He will then roll wings level, time 7-8 seconds, and reverse back to the egress heading. Wing
will simply turn to parallel the egress heading after weapons delivery. Wing should keep sight of lead
during Lead's of target maneuver. After rollout on the egress heading, Lead must then reacquire sight of
Wing and call a shackle if section integrity dictates.
If egress heading is perpendicular to the initial attack heading (see figure 19), Lead will proceed past
the target maintaining his attack heading for 7-8 seconds. At the completion of timing, Lead will
perform a level 14 unit AOA 90 degree turn (maintaining 360 knots) towards the egress heading.
Wing will perform the same turn immediately after the simulated delivery. Once both aircraft have
reacquired sight of each other, Lead will dress the section as in the straight ahead egress. Once the
flight is back in spread, Lead will fence the flight out. Master Arm--Safe, Nav Mode, G's and Fuel.
REJOIN
After the last target or last point on the route, Lead will call a knock-it-off with heading, and Wing will
respond, "2 knock it off (heading)." Lead will then clear Wing to join with a visual and begin a
decelerating climb to his predetermined RTB VFR altitude, as appropriate for the route being flown.
LEAD: "Lead is climbing to X.5, decelerating to 250, with visual, you are cleared to join."
WING: "Visual." Lead will then clear the flight off the route will FSS, squawk VFR, and coordinate
with appropriate control agencies for RTB. Wing will execute a running rendezvous with lead, and
join in parade. Lead will dash 2 into cruise for a normal section RTB.
