Noice one my man.

But you had to include the SAS A319 Retro.
There always space for that.

What are the ATC protocols that you have to follow in a formation?

[JarrettFlies]

Be a flight of…(insert number of people in formation) ATC will give instructions to the lead plane. All other aircraft follow lead plane.

[anon41771314]

You also need very good accuracy when it comes to turns and to be able to do a full hand landing, as if you did it with AP it would be very hard to land in formation.

Looks like you guys had a fun little flight! Love the pics… also, nice timelapse

[anon41771314]

Thanks! The timelapse is icing on the cake!

I think Formation flights are allowed to fly with only a separation of 0.5 nm on final
