Aerobatics and Formation Flying

Recap Aircraft Maintenance Ground Handling Prep for Flight General Flying Aero’s & Formation flying

Aero’s History & Modern Used by pilots to manoeuvre into a favourable firing position, or to avoid the guns of enemy aircraft. Modern Give the pilot confidence in handling aircraft Experience at operating in different attitudes Accustom pilot to the high strains & stress of combat flying

HASELL Height – sufficient altitude to complete manoeuvre. Airframe – Flaps and U/C UP, Airbrakes IN. Security – Equipment and loose articles stowed & seat harness locked and tight. Engine – Temperatures, pressures & fuel sufficient. Location – clear of: Active airfields, Built-up areas Controlled airspace. Look-Out – keep clear of other aircraft & cloud

All aircraft move in three axis Yaw, Pitch & Roll

Basic: the loop Process Pilot aligns aircraft with linear feature – road, rail Drop nose to increase speed Keep wings level Pull up until horizon disappears, looking overhead for new horizon

Basic: Barrel Roll Process Drop nose to increase speed Pick point above horizon (cloud) Roll 45° away from banking direction Roll in banking direction, with nose of aircraft pointing at point on horizon

Basic: Slow Roll Process As barrel roll, but slower Pilot must keep nose on horizon Smooth and gentle of controls Steady and slow roll

Basic: Stall turn Only manoeuvre in yawing axis Process Nose up to 90° from horizontal, decreasing speed Before wing stalls (zero lift, zero speed) apply rudder Aircraft falls sideways until nose is pointing down Speed increases, round out at the bottom

Advanced: Roll of the top Process ½ Loop followed by Barrel or Slow roll at top

Advanced: Half roll & pull through Process Barrel or Slow roll followed by second half of ½ Loop

Advanced: Upward roll Process Raise speed by dropping nose Pull up vertically Roll, keeping wings straight Often ends with stall turn

Advanced: Aileron Turn Process As half roll & pull through, but roll ours when vertically downward

Advanced: Derry turn Process As half roll & pull through, but roll ours when vertically downward

Advanced: Vertical eight Process As half roll & pull through, but roll ours when vertically downward Care must be taken not to exceed Speed & ‘G’ limits

Advanced: Horizontal eight Process As horizontal version of vertical eight

Advanced: Hesitation roll Process Either a 4 or 8 point roll, stopping briefly every 45° or 90°

Advanced: Inverted Flight Process Few aircraft are permitted to fly inverted for prolonged periods of time Airframes can manage more +ve than –ve ‘G’ forces Inverted flight inverts the pitch controls Lift decrease and stalling speed increases High angle of attack

Formation Flying “Ordered arrangement of 2 or more aircraft proceeding as an element” Leader is termed an “No 1” and is responsible for briefing & safety of all aircraft in the formation. No 1 is the only pilot who looks at instruments, all others watch & follow No 1 at ALL TIMES Two categories of formation flying: Close formation – take off, cloud formation, display & air shows, landing Tactical formation – used for tactical combat operations

Formation Flying: Leadership Close formation flying is dependant on the leadership of No 1 No 1 commands the formation, it’s security, tactics, exercises & safe return to base No 1 must brief a Deputy in case of emergency Several sections can form up under the leadership of 1 section

Formation Flying: Vic & Echelon & Line Astern Vic & echelon Positions between aircraft are fixed by a reference point – e.g. Wing tip Try to keep smoothness in formation with all in line Vic Echelon 1 2 3 1 2 3

Formation Flying: Line abreast, line astern & Box Distance & stations kept by reference to cockpit & size In line astern relative distance is used Line abreast Line Astern Box 1 2 3 1 2 3 4 1 2 3

Close formation techniques Relative speed – the only method of judging speed is using the Air Speed Indicator (ASI) Apparent size – using the size of objects to judge distance – 6 miles to 3 miles isn’t obvious, but 1 mile to ½ mile is. Distance – Tendency to underestimate, comes with practise & experience

Joining Formations Does as quickly as possible to save time & fuel No 1 flies straight & level for 1 mile, allowing others to catch up No 2+ then join on a slow turn, remaining on starboard side of No 1 – 2 & 3 will swap No 1 flies at cruising speed allows others to catch up by aiming on collision course, then slowing into position

Station changes Changes are always small & smooth A clean aircraft: Longitudinal changes use throttle & elevators Lateral changes use ailerons Vertical changes use elevators A clean aircraft: Accelerates quickly Decelerates slowly Acceleration is often poor at low speed in jet aircraft
