What action is required before initiating the break procedures?

Before initiating the break procedures, establishing interval with the following aircraft is essential. This action ensures that there is a safe distance maintained between your aircraft and the one behind you, which is critical for maintaining safe separation during the maneuver. The break procedure involves a series of turns and changes in altitude and speed, which can create a dynamic situation; therefore, it is crucial to have adequate spacing to avoid any potential collisions or complications when executing the maneuver.

Establishing this interval allows for a controlled environment where each aircraft can perform its operations effectively without interfering with others. As a result, safety is prioritized, and the flow of training operations remains orderly. Other actions, while important in the overall context of flight procedures, do not directly address the necessity of maintaining safe spacing before initiating the break.
