Safety in Formation

Stearman Flight, is a  formation flight training organization dedicated to enhancing safety and proficiency in the Stearman formation flying community. Stearman Flight is fully compliant with the Formation and Safety Team (FAST) National Formation Standards and is sanctioned to offer formation training and conduct check rides for FAA licensed pilots.  Pilots who successfully complete the Stearman Flight training program will receive a “FAST” card and be authorized by the FAA to fly formation in waivered air space (airspace normally closed to other pilots, such as at air shows).  To that end, Stearman Flight intends to conduct Formation Training Clinics throughout the calendar year in different cities across the U.S.

Pilots who want to experience a new dimension in flying will find that formation flying is among the most challenging and enjoyable types of flying there is.  The goal of a Stearman Formation Clinic is to develop the pilot’s formation flying skill and proficiency while he or she flies with an experienced formation instructor.  At the same time the pilot will experience camaraderie in a fun social environment.
