Lineup. Once the section has been given clearance to take the runway, Lead will note the

winds on the windsock or reported by Tower. Lead will place his aircraft on the downwind side

of the runway (Wingman into the wind). Each aircraft will take the center of their side of the

runway. If the winds are reported calm, Lead may take either side of the runway based off

departure heading, sun angle, etc. Both aircraft will finish the Takeoff Checklist as they take the

runway with Wing leaving his transponder in "standby." Wing will let Lead taxi ahead to allow

room to align on the runway. Once Wing is certain which side Lead is taking, Wing will taxi to

the center of his side and line up the leading edge of his wing with the trailing edge of Lead's

same-side elevator (Figures 2-4 and 2-5).
