LESSON NOTES
Point out that because the lead is using a lower power setting than in Fam
aerobatics, he should pay closer attention to airspeed during wingovers and
barrel rolls.
2.
Wingman
a.
Match lead's pull to maintain position
b.
When possible, fly inside lead's radius of turn; add power as
necessary when passing through inverted position
c.
If executing maneuver outside lead's radius of turn, smoothly
reduce power as necessary when passing through inverted
position
E. Return to parade position
1.
Lead: reduce power and then pass join-up signal (porpoise the
aircraft or pat either shoulder)
2.
Wingman: move into parade position, adjusting power as
necessary
F. Common errors by wingman
1.
Problem: excessive nose-to-tail due to falling outside lead's radius
of turn
Correction: as soon as nose-to-tail opening is observed,
expeditiously move to proper position inside lead's radius of turn
2.
Problem: erratic g due to overcontrolling of stick
Correction: hold constant g until correction takes effect
