This Formation Flying Endorsement course will teach you the necessary ground theory required to plan, brief and fly a safe formation sortie with 2 or more aircraft. The course teaches you how to maintain and change position in the formation, break and re-joining procedures, as well as formation takeoff and landings.
You will master flying as a wingman in Echelon, Line-Astern and Line-Abreast positions whilst the formation manoeuvres as one. In addition, you’ll learn the crucial skills required to fly out in front and lead the formation yourself. Even highly experienced pilots describe flying in formation with other aircraft as some of the most gratifying flying they have ever done.
This course needs to be completed with at least 1 other student, due to the requirement of at least 2 aircraft for the practical flight training components. We can help to coordinate this for you.
