MOTIVATION
The tactical Naval pilot rarely goes on a mission in which he is not teamed with
another aircraft. The concept of section flying goes back to World War I when
German fighters discovered that two aircraft working as a team could defeat the
enemy more efficiently. The basics of this type of flying start here in the
classroom.
OVERVIEW
After completing FFP-05, you will be familiar with procedures for performing
section interval takeoff and abort and cruise/column formation. You will also be
able to demonstrate this knowledge initially on the exam for this lesson and later
in the cockpit.
