TURN-AWAY REFERENCE
(4) Maintain bearing by creating a triangle with the lead's
center canopy bow, canopy rail, and the leading edge of
the wing
c.
Common error by wingman
(1) Problem: Wingman becomes sucked with too little
wingtip separation in turn away because of failure to
match lead's rate of roll, anticipate power changes and
shift position gouges; wingman attempts to correct by
banking deeper into turn, but instead of moving closer to
bearing, he becomes more sucked and loses more
wingtip separation as he cuts across lead's radius of turn
Correction:
(a) Add power and match lead's rate of roll and AOB
(b) Maintain correct wingtip and nose-to-tail separation
during turn
i)
Minor AOB adjustments
ii)
Minor power adjustments
