locked" call or has touched down before making the "Dash-2 three down and locked" call. The

lead aircraft will land on the downwind side of the runway to eliminate the hazard of wake

turbulence for subsequent wingmen.

LEAD: "Tower, ROKT 207 flight of two, 3 miles south of X-ray, request low break."

TOWER: "ROKT 207, report the numbers 7R, low break approved."

TOWER: "Roger."

Post Landing

During rollout, each student will make the appropriate "board speed" ICS calls as in FAMs. If it

is necessary for the lead to cross the wingman's half of the runway to exit, the wing IP will clear

the lead with a "2's slow" call on the UHF. This call will be made once the wing's brakes have

been checked and de-confliction with lead is assured. When cleared of the runway the lead

student will request clearance from Ground to taxi:

STUDENT (UHF): "Ground ROKT 204, taxi to my line."

Unlike FAMs, "cleared of the duty " will not be called, as the wingman may not yet be cleared.

Once the wingman is cleared of the duty runway, the wingman will automatically switch to

ground frequency and wait for the lead to check him in. The section will proceed to the line area

and complete the required cockpit checklists. Once in the line/hot brake area, the lead student

will switch the flight to Base Frequency and check in the wing. Each aircraft will then call

Maintenance Control, in order, with aircraft status using the side number (i.e., "Maintenance,

807 in and up"). Once the wing student completes his maintenance call, the lead student will
