Section Parade Formation
PRESS ENTER OR SELECT MORE FOR 2ND OVERLAY.
d.
Stabilize outside of lead's radius of turn in a slightly acute
parade turn-away at approximately 200 ft and slightly stepped
up
e.
Retract speed brakes
f.
Reset power as necessary
g.
Regain airspeed to approximately rendezvous airspeed
h.
When told to rejoin flight by flight lead (e.g., "Cleared inside
when stable")
(1) Go below and behind lead to return to 30-degree
rendezvous bearing on inside of turn
(2) Execute join-up
i.
Monitor airspeed until close enough to discern relative motion
by sight only
2.
Lead: in case of underrun, remain in rendezvous turn until flight is
properly joined
C. Common errors by wingman
1.
Problem: wingman fails to underrun due to lack of recognition of
underrun parameters (excessive closure, extremely acute)
Correction/prevention:
a.
Monitor both airspeed differential in the cockpit and closure/
bearing on the lead outside the cockpit to recognize excessive
closure and acute position
b.
Initiate underrun
2.
Problem: wingman is too wide after underrun due to failure to
anticipate stabilizing just outside lead's radius of turn
Correction: use AOB and g to dissipate energy, preventing
excessive separation
