Gang,

For those of you attending the West Coast formation clinic, there are a 
few things that you'll need to bring/do in order to participate.

Requirements:

-Current medical and BFR.
-Proof of Insurance with standard $1M policy.
-Aircraft in good working order, in annual, and the ability to transmit 
on the radio from both front/rear, or left/right seats. (Note:  
Instructors always reserve the right to not fly in any airplane for any 
reason)
-No vernier throttles!  They are not conducive to formation flying.
-Conversant in the T-34 Formation manual and hand signals.
-Good attitude!  Ability to accept criticism in a positive manner.  All 
egos are checked at the door...you can pick 'em back up on the way to 
the bar!

Recommended:

-Kneeboard to write briefing notes, frequencies, etc. on.  You can 
write 'em on your hand, but people will start wondering if you have 
gangrene after the second day!  I'm partial to this one...

-Parachute
-Helmet
-Nomex flight suit
-Nomex gloves
-Fire extinguisher
(The choice to carry this equipment is a very personal decision, let 
your conscious be your guide.)

-Proficient in stall/spin recovery and unusual attitudes...at the very 
least you should be comfortable maneuvering your airplane up to 60 
degrees in roll and 30 degrees in pitch.

This info will be posted on the web site lancairlegacy.com/formation

Well, "sunny Southern California" looks like the only place in the 
country that's all wet this weekend.  Hope some of y'all get some 
flying in.

Cheers,

Barry
