Helicopter radiotelephony
Hi there,
For the my very firs time here I can say that this is one of the best sites dealing with Air Force problems. Just go on!
Now back to the problem, I'm heli flight instructor and currently I'm making the Manual of radiotelephony specially for heli pilots. The main source are ICAO and CAA documents but there are no details like: flight in formation, emergence procedures for helicopters etc.
My question is: does anybody knows something about it from practice or has experience in that field?
Thanks!

When all members of the formation are ready to lift, the leader uses the proword 'UP-DIDDLEE-UP-UP' to signal takeoff.
Similarly on completion of pre-landing checks, the leader indicates landing with the proword 'DOWN-DIDDLEE-UM-DOWN'.
If any member of the formation is forced to carry out a missed approach / go around, he signals this to the leader with 'UP-DOWN-FLYING-AROUND'.

To be honest I think you are asking for info that nobody in their right mind would give you on a public forum. I am sure if you wrote through official channels to the Rotary Tactics Evaluation unit, they will provide you with a full set of all formation procedures and calls.
If you are a military instructor you would know that neither the manual Of Radio Telephony or ICAO or the CAA would contain/know any knowledge of any such things. If you are in the military, then which one is it with? If you are not, then you do not need to know.

Apparently the first 3 rules of Helicopter Radiotelephony are
1 Breathe in a blast of neat Helium
2 Place a Black and Decker power sander on your chest and switch on
3 Press to Transmit
