Entry procedure
a.
Lead
(1) Check to see flight area is clear
(2) Advise wingman of heading, altitude, and
airspeed
(3) Signal wingman to assume combat spread
b.
Wingman
(1) When advised, check heading and airspeed
(2) When signalled, go to MRT and move up
abeam lead aircraft
(3) Fly out (abeam) from lead on a 10-15
degree heading differential with a 10-15 kt
airspeed advantage
(4) Vary pitch and AOB to arrive 3/4-1 nm
abeam with 1000 ft of vertical separation
5.
Common error while transitioning to combat spread
position
a.
Problem: wingman makes too great or too
quick a cut to combat spread, causing sucked
position
Correction: reduce heading differential and/or
vary rate of climb to maintain bearing
6.
Techniques for maintaining position
a.
Sucked: lower nose, add power, accelerate to
bearing, then raise nose to arrive on bearing at
300 KIAS
b.
Acute: pull up nose and reduce power, when
approaching bearing, lower nose to regain 300
KIAS
