Turns (Figure 5-6). If in a turn, the aircraft on the outside of the turn will roll wings

level and transmit his exact heading and altitude. The aircraft on the inside of the

turn will maintain bank angle and continue the turn for a minimum of 30 of heading

change. Lead will direct a rejoin or coordinate for a separate squawk for the

Wingman as appropriate.

Solo Chase. In all cases, the Solo Chase instructor will maneuver as required for

safety. Chase will assist in rejoining the flight or coordinate to separate the flight as

appropriate.

Climbs or Descents. If lost sight is encountered while in a climb or descent, the

wingman will level off, while executing the appropriate procedure outlined above.

The Lead or Solo Chase will be directive, using the radios, to ensure deconfliction by

assigning different altitudes to formation members. If after one minute, positive

communication with ATC has not been established, the wingman will resume the last

assigned heading and altitude, squawk 7600, and comply with normal IMC lost

communication procedures.
