What do flight members report in with following an ops check?

After conducting an ops check, flight members primarily report fuel status. This is crucial as it provides the flight leader with essential information regarding each member's fuel state, which helps in assessing the overall operational capability of the formation and making informed decisions about flight progress, potential returns to base, or changing the planned route if fuel levels are low. Monitoring fuel ensures that all aircraft can maintain sufficient reserves for safe operations, especially in formation flying where communication and coordination are essential for safety. Other factors like altitude, speed, and route may be relevant in different contexts, but the immediate priority after an ops check is to ensure that fuel levels are adequate for the mission ahead.
