Civvy formation T/O and landing
Really quick question.
Can your normal every day airfield tower clear a civilian formation for landing and take-off? Are there any requirements for this (on both ATC and aircraft side?). Obviously works okay for the likely of the Reds who don't exactly match the profile, but I was passed traffic info about 2 Cessnas in formation taking off from Biggin a while ago and I was sure I heard "Callsign formation cleared to land runway xx" before I changed freqs. I was under the impression this was not allowed.
I may be mistaken of course!
