Take-Off

Question 1

A 12 planes Take Off Group (4 flights of 3) wants to take-off. How does it works ?

Answer 1

Here's how its works -

Take-off & join-up phase -

a) 4 flights of 3 fighters take-off - AUTOMATICALLY form up into

flights (3 a/c each)

Fuel usage = 5 + ROC costs for EVERY a/c.

b) Flight #2 spends d5#1 fuel to join-up (hopefully) with Flight #1.

c) Flight #3 spends d5#2 fuel to join-up (hopefully) with Flight #1.

d) Flight #4 spends d5#3 fuel to join-up (hopefully) with Flight #1.

IF successful, the formation has used the following fuel amounts -

Flight #1 = 5 + ROC costs

Flight #2 = 5 + ROC costs +d5#1

Flight #3 = 5 + ROC costs +d5#2

Flight #4 = 5 + ROC costs +d5#3

If there has been join-up snags, there may be extra fuel costs added

on (like VAT).
