position the aircraft into the recognised formation position;
        8.        perform circuit and stream landing:
               1.          conduct formation break into the circuit;
               2.         maintain separation with other formation aircraft;
               3.       manage wake turbulence;
               4.       land in turn;
        9.          perform formation landing:
               1.          maintain formation position and
                      1.       carry out pre-landing checks;
                      2.       configure aircraft on leader's call;
                      3.       land aircraft;
               2.         after landing, ensure horizontal and lateral separation is established;
               3.       after clearing runway establish formation taxiing position;
               4.       conduct after-landing checks;
       10.          perform formation overshoot:
               1.          maintain formation position;
               2.         configure aircraft on instructions from leader;
               3.       complete after take-off checks.
 2.               FAE-6.5 – Plan a formation flight
        1.        identify the task requirements for the flight;
        2.        arrange crews, briefing venue and time, and coordinate aircraft availability;
        3.         analyse the tasks to be achieved and determine the manoeuvres and formations that ensure safe achievement of the task;
        4.        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;
        5.        plan actions in the event of abnormal or emergency situations involving the formation.
 3.               FAE-6.6 – Brief and de-brief formation pilots
        1.        explain and confirm the ground and flight manoeuvres to be conducted;
        2.        explain and confirm timings, route(s), speeds and altitudes to be flown;
        3.         identify and nominate deputy leader and explain and confirm responsibilities;
        4.        explain and confirm communication procedures, in-flight minimum fuel, abnormal and emergency procedures and method of return for landing;
        5.        identify achievements and any faults or errors that occurred during the formation flight and provides guidance and feedback to other formation members during the post-flight de-brief.
 4.               FAE-6.7 – Lead a formation flight
        1.        manoeuvre lead aircraft using controlled corrective action to ensure a stable platform for pilots flying in formation stations;
        2.        manoeuvre the formation safely anticipating and allowing for formation size, proximity to obstructions, terrain, airspace limitations, weather conditions and air traffic, while ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements;
        3.         direct and control the formation using precise standard radio phraseology, hand and other signal procedures;
        4.        manage lost contact procedures in accordance with standard operating procedures;
        5.        monitor formation member's flight performances and reacts appropriately to any problems.
 5.               FAE-6.8 – Manage abnormal and emergency situations during formation flight
        1.        control aircraft and formation when leading;
        2.        manage abnormal or emergency situations in accordance with standard operating procedures or AFM and POH, both as flight leader and as pilot in command of a non-lead aircraft.
