Based on limited research, it appears that the Yak-18T doesn't explicitly fall within the FAST guidelines (i.e. it doesn't have a two-place tandem canopy). Is there an exception within FAST for this type of airplane? If not, how do the Bonanza guys get formation certified? I've had informal formation training & experience to date, mainly in C-182 jump airplanes. I want to be formally prepared just in case there are any 52/CJ guys that would be willing to form up with a "grocery getter" en route to east coast airshows! Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

If all you want to do is to fly formation with the Yak/CJ folks, get the training and you are good to go. What the FAST card buys you is permission from the feds to fly formation in waivered airspace (airshow). So you need the training to be safe but whether or not you actually get the card may not be an issue. I can't imagine it would be a problem learning to fly formation in the Yak-18T so long as you have sufficient visibility to safely do rejoins. -- Brian Lloyd 6501 Red Hook Plaza, Suite 201 brian@lloyd.com St. Thomas, VI 00802 +1.340.998.9447 - voice +1.360.838.9669 - fax GMT-4 ________________________________ Message 4 _____________________________________ Time: 01:00:49 PM PST US From: "Terry Calloway" Subject: Re: Yak-List: He's Baack... --> Yak-List message posted by: "Terry Calloway" >living in FLA. >>>Craig Payne Craig, You're taking this Sun 'N Fun Race way to serious.

They get training from a lot of FAST instructors, but they don't really get a FAST card. Also though they show up in formation to OSH, they are not flying in "wavered airspace" i.e. (during the show) which is the ONLY place the FAST card means anything. > > I've had informal formation training &experience to date, mainly in C-182 > jump > airplanes.

The FAST training is great for all flying. What I think you'll find is more formal and detailed approach to flying formation than the jump plane stuff. As to weather the 18T would fit in? There are number of cabin type formation ships in the FAST signatories. The Liaison group are using L-17, O-2, L-19 etc. They are signatory of FAST. As far as being part of the YPA's formations, it would be fine with me, I don't know what the boss would say. The training is a great way to meet a bunch of neat folks, puts every one on the same script when flying formation, and adds support for that odd ball Yak you can haul our extra in. :-) > > Any advice would be greatly appreciated! > > Scott Huff > > > > Jim Goolsby "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety" Benjamin Franklin 1759 "With my shield, or on it" Trojan Warriors BC "The reason older men are like fine wine.
