FORMATION FLYING ENDORSEMENT

This endorsement is not for every pilot who gains their PPL. Some find the thought of flying so close to another aircraft a little daunting but for those who take up this form of flying there is generally something a little special about having a formation endorsement.  So what are the requirements? You must have a current PPL. Formation endorsement training is generally done with two pilots who seek the endorsement, two formation endorsed instructors and obviously two aircraft. Flight time required is around 10 (ten) hours - 5 hrs as leader and 5 hrs maintaining station on the leader, with a little theory and whiteboard work as well.
