I have posted the PACOTS Tutorial several times ago. Thanks to Mr. Adhika Lee who have made these tutorial. Now Lets try to fly it. I will write this in a very simple way without any images.

How to enter the PACOTS coordinate to Airbus FMGC?
Okay, I will use the old PACOTS Route that I’ve used for my flight from VHHH to PHNL. The Routes are:

OCEAN V2 ELATO A1 APU G587 ROBIN R583 LEKOS M750 MJE PETAL OTR14 ACQUA OTR15 MORAY 36N150E 36N160E 28N170E 25N180E 22N170W HOOPA KATHS OPACA

I assume that you have already know and set your FMGC with the active runway and the departure (SID). The steps is very simple. Check it out:

• You will depart from VHHH Hongkong and follow the route as usual.
• Now mark this: You will exit your usual route at MORAY. Now…click at MORAY on your Left side FMGC keys.
• The first PACOTS route is 36N150E. Now type on the scratchpad 360000N/1500000E (Enter the number and add four zeroes behind it) and enter this to “NEXT WPT” on the Right key. Done!
• You will see LL01 as your first PACOTS fix below MORAY intersection on F-PLAN page.

Next you can proceed by yourself by entering next PACOTS fix in the same way. And you will see LL02, LL03, and so on and so on… for the next PACOTS fix that you’ve made. After you reach the end of these PACOTS route you can enter HOOPA KATHS and OPACA. Just enter them directly without Airways. HOOPA is your entry at Honolulu airspace, and from here you can resume by your own navigation captain and happy landing at Honolulu Airport!

I hope you can understand with my simple tutorial. Any Question please write on the comments field.

Formation flying is fun and also dangerous when you’re flying with other aircraft with only a few yards away. For those who trained with good discipline, flying formation with a mission can be an efficient way for two or more aircraft to get to their destination. Of course there are many other reasons to fly formation. To minimize the danger, we must exercise discipline and follow the chain of command in the formation of formations, leader and wingman roles and different responsibilities to ensure aviation safety and success. Here we only discuss for formation flying with two aircraft only.

Discipline
Discipline in formation flying is very important for safety and so that formation flying can be maintained. Formation integrity can be maintained only if the leader has complete knowledge and control the actions of each flight member. The flight leader must accurately explain the formation will be flown along with the responsibility of what should be known by the wingmen who are involved in these formations. Wingman will maintain formation position assigned to the changes determined by the flight leader.

Flight Leader
Flight Leader is the person who commands both on land and in air. He has a general responsibility for planning and organizing the mission, leading the flight, delegating tasks in the flight to ensure the mission is accomplished safely. Flight leader must know the capabilities and limitations of the wingman. Flight leader on the ground will give guidance on the flight plan. He may delegate the task of the flight. Once in the air, he has responsibility for navigation, communication, formation and successful establishment of the mission.

Wingman
The wingman also has important responsibilities. On land they help plan and organize the mission leader. And once airborne, they fly and maintain a set position, to maintain visual contact with aircraft flight leader, responsible for the safe separation distance from the aircraft during flight flight leader, and can back-up navigation tasks.
Before you can master the formation flying as a wingman you must know in what position you should be, depending on the type of aircraft you are and what position you’re flying. You can make reference to “wing-line reference” and a longitudinal reference. Along with these references you need to maintain separation wing tip / nose-tail. Some basic information is; Close formation (see Fig. 1)

Figure. 1

is usually separation of about 3-10 feet laterally, Route Formation (See Fig. 2) – Separation of more than 10 ft to 3 wingspans. Regardless of which position you are, you should always continue to scan all the references. You have to keep checking-line wing and the longitudinal references to ensure safe separation. In close formation of this reference should be cut right through the base of your neck in the entire maneuver.
