       (f) perform break and rejoin:
(i) recognise loss of contact with formation or any other requirement to break away and implement a decision to break away from the formation;
(ii) break away from formation lead by creating positive track and height separation with the remaining formation aircraft;

(vii) maintain vertical separation with the remaining formation aircraft;
(viii) establish and manage overtaking speed while maintaining vertical separation;
       (g) establish a flight path that will ensure the gyroplane will pass behind and below the formation in the event of a join-up overshoot and position the gyroplane into the recognised formation position;
       (h) perform circuit and stream landing:
(i) conduct formation break into the circuit;
(ii) maintain separation with other formation aircraft;
(iii) manage wake turbulence;
(iv) land in turn;
(v) perform formation landing;
       (i) maintain formation position;
       (j) carry out pre-landing checks;
       (k) configure aircraft on leader's call;
       (l) land aircraft:
(i) after landing, ensure horizontal and lateral separation is established;
(ii) after clearing runway establish formation taxiing position;
(iii) conduct after-landing checks;
       (m) perform formation overshoot:
(i) maintain formation position;
(ii) configure gyroplane on instructions from leader;
(iii) complete applicable after take-off checks.
2.5 FAE-10.5 – Plan a formation flight
       (a) identify the task requirements for the flight;
       (b) arrange crews, briefing venue and time, and coordinate aircraft availability;
       (c) analyse tasks to be achieved and determine the manoeuvres and formations that ensure safe achievement of the task;
       (d) plan flight route to allow task achievement in the time available and within performance capabilities of the flight, while complying with all air traffic, area limitations and navigation requirements;
       (e) plan actions in the event of abnormal or emergency situations involving the formation.
2.6 FAE-10.6 – Brief and debrief formation pilots
       (a) explain and confirm the ground and flight manoeuvres to be conducted;
       (b) explain and confirm timings, routes, speeds and altitudes to be flown;
       (c) identify and nominate deputy leader and explain and confirm responsibilities;
       (d) explain and confirm communication procedures, in-flight minimum fuel, abnormal and emergency procedures and method of return for landing;
       (e) identify achievements and any faults or errors that occurred during the formation flight and provide guidance and feedback to other formation members
