T-34C PRIMARY FORMATION FLIGHT TRAINING

Figure 6-4 Cruise Form Section Pattern

(TW-5)

Once the section is 45 past the approach end numbers, Lead will make his base call (e.g., "___

Tower, [Lead's call sign] flight left/right base, gear, option.") and turns 90 to the base leg of the

pattern. At the initiation of this turn, a reduction in power (to approximately 450 ft-lbs) and

slight descent are required to maintain a normal approach path to the runway. After rolling

wings level on the base leg, Lead initiates the section separation procedures with the eyes-on

signal. After Kissing off the Wingman, lead rolls into the dogleg/final turn, establishes himself

on the appropriate side of the runway for the wind conditions, and flies a normal no-flap

approach.
