8.7.6 Catapult Launch. At night, catapult procedures are the same as daytime, except signals are
provided by lights instead of hand signals. The exterior lights are utilized to signal that the pilot is
ready for launch. After the control wipeout, select the ADI for display on a DDI or the UFCD in case
the HUD should be lost during or immediately after launch. When ready for launch, place external
lights master switch to ON.
All exterior lights (position, formation, and strobes) should be on. If instrument meteorological
conditions are expected shortly after launch, the strobes may be left off at the discretion of the pilot.
After launch, monitor rotation of the aircraft to 12° AOA, cross checking all instruments to ensure
a positive rate of climb. When comfortably climbing, retract the landing gear and flaps and proceed on
the departure IAW CV NATOPS.
8.7.7 Catapult Suspend. To stop the launch while in tension on the catapult, do not turn on the
exterior lights and transmit ªSUSPEND, SUSPENDº. Maintain MIL or MAX power until the
Catapult Officer steps in front of the aircraft and gives the ²throttle-back² signal. If the external lights
master switch has already been placed to ON, transmit ªSUSPEND, SUSPENDº but leave the exterior
lights on and the throttle at MIL or MAX until signalled to reduce power. When the throttles are
retarded to IDLE, then turn off the exterior lights master switch.
8.7.8 Night Landings. Night and instrument recoveries will normally be made using case III
procedures IAW CV NATOPS. Prior to departing marshal, change the IDENT switch on the exterior
lights panel to the NORM position. Make sure the strobe lights are flashing a 3 flash, pause, repeat
pattern.
8.7.9 Arrestment and Exit From the Landing Area. During the approach, all exterior lights should
be on with the exception of the landing/taxilight. Following arrestment, immediately turn the external
lights master switch off. Taxi clear of the landing area following taxi director signals. If brakes are lost,
signal by lowering the hook, turning on exterior lights, and transmitting on land/launch frequency.

Special Procedures
9.1 FORMATION FLIGHT
9.1.1 Formation Taxi/Takeoff. During section taxi, ensure adequate clearance between flight lead's
stabilator and wingman's wing/missile rail is maintained. The leader will take position on the
downwind side of the runway with other aircraft in tactical order, maintaining normal parade bearing.
See figure 9-1. For three aircraft formations, line up with the lead on the downwind side, number 2 on
the centerline, and number 3 on the upwind side. Wingtip/launch rail overlap should not be required
but is permitted if necessary. For four plane formations, line up with the lead's section on the
downwind half of the runway and other section on the upwind half. When Before Takeoff checks are
completed and the flight is in position, each pilot looks over the next aircraft to ensure the speed brake
is retracted (spoilers down), the flaps are set for takeoff, all panels are closed, no fluids are leaking,
safety pins are removed, rudders are toed-in, nosewheel is straight, and the launch bar is up. Beginning
with the last aircraft in the flight, a ªthumb upº is passed toward the lead to indicate ªready for
takeoffº.
9.1.1.1 Section Takeoff. For section takeoff, all aspects of the takeoff must be prebriefed by the
flight leader, to include flap settings; use of nosewheel steering; power changes; power settings; and
signals for actuation of landing gear, flaps, and afterburner. Engines are run up to approximately 80%,
instruments checked, and nosewheel steering low gain ensured. On signal from the leader, brakes are
released and throttles are advanced to military power minus 2% rpm. If afterburner is desired, the
leader may go into mid range burner immediately without stopping at military power. Normal takeoff
techniques should be used by the leader, with the wingman striving to match the lead aircraft attitude
as well as maintain a position in parade bearing with wingtip separation. The gear and flaps are
retracted on signal. Turns into the wingman shall not be made at altitudes less than 500 feet above
ground level.
9.1.2 Aborted Takeoff. In the event of an aborted takeoff, the aircraft aborting must immediately
notify the other aircraft. The aircraft not aborting should add max power and accelerate ahead and out
of the way of the aborting aircraft. This allows the aborting aircraft to steer to the center of the runway
and engage the arresting gear, if required.
9.1.3 Parade. The parade position is established by superimposing the front of the wingtip missile
