Formation flying is the art of maintaining a stable position relative to
another aircraft. CAR part 12, division 1 para. 163AA defines
formation flying as 2 or more aircraft that are flown in close proximity
to each other when they operate as a single aircraft with regard to
navigation, position reporting and control. This general CAR
definition is quite broad and can be seen to include in-company,
loose trail, air-touring aircraft and a range of other activities.
At ACFT the term “formation” is taken to mean a disciplined
formation of two or more aircraft flying in close proximity with all
movements coordinated, under the command of a flight lead and
using a standard set of radio and visual signals. A formation flight will
have been specifically briefed by the flight lead for the expected
conditions of the day and the particular air-exercise to be
conducted.
You can expect to learn to fly with precision and accuracy as you
are trained by highly experienced general aviation and military
instructors who utilise these skills on a regular basis.
ACFT conduct formation training in the Super Decathlon only.
