We investigate the flattening properties of the Lie group G r II of transformations of a second-order tangent bundle T 2(M) equipped with the lift ∇II of an affine connection ∇ and the lift g II of a metric g on the base of M induced by the Lie group G r of concircular transformations of the base of M. The obtained results reveal certain geometric features of the induced group G r II within the framework of the theory of p-geodesic mappings.
