Quad-line team flying

Team flying needs a shared language before it needs a long collection of figures. On QuadKites.org, the starting point is Jst-4-Fn: its basics help pilots join a group, understand the leader and quickly fly with others.

A progressive path

Section titled "A progressive path"
  1. Start with Jst-4-Fn to learn the references, calls and first maneuvers.
  2. Train as a team to prepare, rehearse and debrief flights.
  3. Expand the vocabulary with North American maneuvers.
  4. Join a megateam once group conventions are already familiar.

These are not four competing standards. They answer four successive or complementary needs.
