| If there are
sufficiently qualified pilots for 4-ship practice we may endeavor to
put this together. However, this clinic is aimed primarily at
formation introduction, refresher and preparation for B2OSH. |
| |
|
|
Format:
Saturday sessions will focus on formation take-off
and landing and station-keeping. Cross-under for experience on
both sides of lead will be accomplished. Beginners will practice
with a safety pilot. Experienced pilots will re-qualify for
B2Osh. By the end of the day pilots should be comfortable in all
phases of the flight requirements necessary for B2Osh.
Sunday: If there is sufficient interest and we feel
there are sufficient pilots qualified we may hold a session
introducing break and rejoin, possible 4-ship
training.
