A. Description: lead performs wingovers and modified barrel rolls as in
cruise, as well as aileron rolls; wingman follows in column position
B. Procedure
LESSON NOTES
Remember that as the lead's nose starts down, the lead will accelerate first and
have a tendency to open on the wingman. The wingman will need to add
minimal power to compensate, readjusting power as both aircraft approach the
same speed. The opposite is true as the lead's nose starts up.
