This is known as Exercise Springhawk.ĭuring Springhawk the team is assessed by senior Royal Air Force officers, with the aim of gaining Public Display Authority. Winter training lasts until mid-March, when the team usually moves overseas to a location with more predictable, settled weather to maximise flying hours and perfect the display. One complete cycle consisting of these elements lasts about two hours, usually with a 30-minute flight. These flights involve a thorough brief, debrief and discussion to ensure safety is paramount and the formations are precise. Each pilot flies three sorties a day, five days a week, and the formations grow in aircraft number as training progresses. Typically, winter training starts in October, with small groups of three or four aircraft formations. The Red Arrows begin training for the forthcoming season almost as soon as the previous year has ended. And when the cloud base is below 2,500ft, the team will fly the flat display, consisting of a series of flypasts and steep turns. If the cloud base is less than 5,500ft, but more than 2,500ft, the team will perform the rolling display – substituting wing-overs and rolls for the loops. To carry out a full, looping, display the base of the cloud must be above 5,500ft to avoid the aircraft entering the cloud at the top of the loop. There are three types of display the Team Leader can elect to fly – full, rolling or flat. During a display, Red 10 acts as the team’s Supervisor who maintains two-way radio contact with the Team Leader. The Synchro Pair, Reds 6 and 7, perform the highly-popular opposition manoeuvres during this latter section of the show.
Reds 1 to 5 form the front section of the team’s formation, known as Enid, and Reds 6 to 9 make up the rear part. The first half of the Red Arrows’ display consists of synchronised, formation aerobatics, followed by a more dynamic second half. On this page, you can see the individual manoeuvres which featured in the 2021 season’s full show. The Red Arrows’ aerobatic display changes each year.
