Posted: Tue Mar 03, 2009 8:18 am Post subject: Formation Flying

Gang: I am looking to start a formal formation flying program for  601XL/650 aircraft, along the same lines as the existing non-aerobatic program  for Grummans as part of FFI (Formation Flying Inc.). FFI is the group that  certifies non-warbird demo groups (including RV's) for the FAA.



I am  looking for experienced formation pilots in the Southwest region (Ex-military is  good.) to form a core group to work out the details and re-hone their skills,  and who will later help non-experienced pilots learn the best kind of  flying there is! I am in the Phoenix area.



I have already done a draft  601XL/650 supplement to the T-34 formation flying manual, which forms the basis  for all FFI standards and procedures and am working on the briefing  guides.



I would like interested aviators to reply, stating their  interest, aircraft and engine, experience level and whether they would be  willing to travel (and how far) for practice clinics.



Thanks,

Andy  Elliott

XL/TD/Corvair, ex-USAF IP and FFI carded, anywhere within 1 hop of  KFFZ

Hi Andy,



I am strongly in favor of all sorts of group flying activities.



Formation flying is a mystery to me - the only experience I have with 

it nearly resulted in a mid-air collision.  So, I would greatly 

appreciate the training/learning part of your program.

Really? There ain't zippity do da at their web site. As the official group, you think they'd have at least some information, but there's basically nothing at all.
