T-34C PRIMARY FORMATION FLIGHT TRAINING

CHAPTER TWO

Lead shall position in the runup area leaving sufficient room for the Wingman to park.

Wing should park next to Lead in a position to see Lead's landing gear and to avoid overlapping

wings. Each aircraft will complete the engine Runup and Takeoff Checklists individually.

When both aircraft have completed their checklists, they will each conduct the 11-Point

Inspection to include, as a minimum, the following items:

Prop Out of Feather

Flaps Retracted

Engine Cowlings Secure

All Antennas Secure

Canopies Closed and Locked

Horizontal and Vertical Stabilizers

All Panels Secure

10. No Visible Leaks

Proper Extension of Struts

11. Navigation and Strobe Lights On

Proper Tire Inflation

At the conclusion of the 11-Point Inspection, Wing will pass Lead a thumbs-up. Lead will

acknowledge Wing by returning the thumbs-up. If any of the 11-Point Inspection items are not

correct, a "thumbs-down" shall be given to that aircraft, followed by an appropriate hand signal

or radio transmission to correct the problem(s). (See Chapter 9 for Appropriate Visual Signals).

Lead will conduct radio changes in accordance with local course rules/SOP, and then taxi

to the hold-short line. Two hundred feet prior to the hold-short line, Lead will turn off the

navigation lights and switch to tower frequency, Wing will switch to tower at Lead's signal

(navigation lights off) and then turn off his navigation lights. Lead will check Wing in on the

tower frequency and then call for takeoff for the entire flight.
