Process
What to expect during a formation flight ?
Welcome & briefing
Setting up the session
As soon as you arrive at the flying club, you will be greeted around a convivial moment (coffee and often pastries) while waiting for all participants. A complete briefing is then conducted with the instructors: team formation, aircraft assignment, designation of the leader and crew members, as well as presentation of the planned exercises and safety instructions.
Preparation of the flight
Organization and preparation of the aircraft
After the briefing, the crews prepare the planes. The day’s exercises are reviewed (tight formation, wing changes, dispersal and assembly, evolutions, window, column, landing at the break…), in order to ensure a perfect coordination in flight.
Takeoff and flight
Putting it into practice
The aircraft take off according to the defined organization and reach the evolution area. Under the supervision of the instructors, you perform the different exercises in formation, working on precision, rigor and coordination between pilots.
Landing and debriefing
Analysis and progression
At the end of the flight, the aircraft return to land, usually with a formation landing procedure (break). A collective debriefing is then conducted to analyze the flight, share impressions and identify axes of progression in a constructive and convivial atmosphere.
