Definitions and Explanations •This is NOT an official document of the T-34 Association. I developed this presentation to be used as a Pre-Flight Formation Instructional/Briefing tool.
•Number Two ALWAYS sets the spacing/interval.
•BL – (Bearing Line) This reference establishes the “Angle Off” between aircraft.
•RL – (Range Line) This reference establishes the spacing between aircraft.
•Spacing/interval criteria depicted in this presentation meets current T-34 Formation Flight Manual and F.A.S.T. Standards/Guidance.

Close Trail/Slot* References •On Trail Line (TL) with Lead •Stack down so the top of the wing is barely visible (can see a little of the top of Augmenter tubes) •Upper limit is “Burble” •Fore/Aft reference - Horizontal Stab touching your canopy bow
Canopy Bow
Top side of Augmenter Tubes
Top of wing barely visible
*Slot •Same as Close Trail, except… •Reference BL on #2 to check Fore/Aft position & symmetry
