Stingray/Montana Formation/Low-Level Standards

LOW-LEVEL AND TACTICAL FORMATION

APPENDIX D

Stick diagrams will include separate sections for continuation fuels for C-12s and

T-44s.

These standards are a minimum to ensure deconfliction on low-level routes. Low-level

stage managers are encouraged to develop squadron standards to supplement this document.

The PIC and/or the Flight Lead of all aircraft flying LL or TF shall inform the respective

squadron CDO/SDO of the routes to be flown the day prior for planning purposes. All aircrews

shall coordinate/call the sister squadron SDO/CDO to determine which routes are in use and at

what times to avoid possible conflicts.
