Well while we are fueling the overhead pattern debate. Here is the
discription from the FAR's on overhead patterns. Now, should we even be
doing overhead patterns if we are not terminating an IFR flight plan?
Remember the military operates on a combined flight plan when departing and
returning on a training sortie(or mission). That combined flight plan is for
both IFR and VFR operations. You depart the base on a IFR plan (formating)
utilizing a block altitude, train in the area (on the bombing range, VR low
level, or MOA) on the VFR portion of the flight plan and RTB on the second
half of the IFR flight plan that is picked up before departing the MOA or
the Range. So are we really correct in our formation overheads being flown
in a VFR setting the entire time?
If we interpet the wording of the FAR literally, the answer may come back as
one we do not like.
HMMMMmmm...but there are FAA advisory circulars out there that address this
for VFR too.
