If there is a need for increased control, Lead can choose to use one of the following formations:
- Trail
- Column
- Echelon
Trail:
Everyone moving in the same track usually with lead in front. Used in narrow terrain and during NOE.
- + Allows high speed, easy management and good observation to the sides.
- - Limited observation and fire power to the front.
Column:
Like Trail but every other pilot flies offset to the right by 45° from the pilot infront of them. (2nd pilot 45° to the right behind lead, 4th pilot 45° to the right behind 3rd and trailing the 2nd) Used during Traveling
- + Allows high speed, easy management and good observation to the sides.
- + Allows greater opportunity for observation going forward and twice the fire power compared to Trail.
- - Still limited observation and fire power to the front.
- - Somewhat more demanding for the pilot to keep formation
Echelon:
Like Trail but every pilot is offset to the right/left (all to the same side) by 45°.
- + Allows equal observation/fire power to the front and sides.
- + Allows opportunity for easy transition into Combat Spread.
- - Somewhat more demanding for the pilot to keep formation, especially through turns.
