Not enough! I see from my first logbook that I did 13:10 Jet Provost formation, including a few solos, on the basic 'wings' course - having never flown formation on the Chipmunk at UAS.
Now the only formation they'll have done is a bit on lightplanes and the useless Wetdream. Which means that the 1 day and 1 night formation trips they get on the VC10 are very interesting for the QFI!!
I get ever so fed up teaching basic formation station-keeping principles on the '10 - thanks to the wretched bean counters stopping BFTS training for ME pilots - but which we were all once taught on the JP!!
