Overhead Breaks

[Simon.Collier]

Hi Guys,

A document has now been put together on how to perform an overhead break to aid in our training.

Cheers

Excellent Simon - I've seen this done many times and always love to watch the formation 'run and break' - and now I and get to do it! Bet it's not as easy as it looks....

Just as an aside - from the Tower point of view, there's no need to have a clear runway for each arrival, they just use phrases like 'Land in turn....one ahead...etc' and the subsequent aircraft land either side of runway. Important bit here is to 'land long' and no heavy breaking!

No it takes a bit of practice.. like everything.

Cool, Yeah heavy braking would certainly cause a problem

Will this become standard for arrivals?

Kind Regards

That would be totally up to Danny, though i imagine it would depend on the circumstances/mission/training that we were doing.

I hope so...they look cool

Standard for combat mission arrivals

Flight lead discretion for training mission arrivals

Own discretion for singleton arrivals
