Formation Emergencies
MOTIVATION
Formation emergencies simply require that you add the dimension of another aircraft
and close professional coordination with another skilled aviator.
OVERVIEW
In this lesson, you will learn about formation emergencies. Although you may never
encounter these problems, preparing for the unexpected is a necessity in all aircraft
operations.
The goal of this lesson is to increase your ability to make proper decisions should you
face an in-flight formation emergency. The knowledge you gain from this and other
emergency flight procedure lessons will enable you to make educated decisions that
could ensure the safe completion of a flight.

formation emergencies:
