Guys,
This serves as a good review of the formation training manual....
| Quote: | If lead aborts, 2 aborts. The flight usually will abort as an element
unless lead aborts at rotation >and is taking the barrier. If that
|
happens, 2 goes flying and lead ends up in the barrier. Two flies >his
jet and forgets about lead until he has established a positive rate of
climb and stabilized flight.
That may be the case for military jets, but we don't have barriers to
contend with. And if lead aborts on take off, what is the proper procedure
in our aircraft?
Also, not to pick nits, but 2 does not become lead if he is airborne
premature of lead. Granted, not the best technique, but there is no
passing of the lead. Need to keep doctrine straight for the uninitiated
or uninformed.
A LOT of time and effort has gone into our training pubs, and it is
incumbent upon all of us to review and know the manual...not knowing and
adhering to the procedures in the manual has a more significant potential
for impact on safety than an early liftoff by -2.
