11-1 Flashcards
What are formation priorities for wingmen?
VFR: Visual, Form pos, Radios/NAVAIDs
What is contract for tac turns?
350 KCAS, MIL pwr and G to maintain airspeed
Typically who sets stack in four-ship?
- 3 will select opposite and 4 will exaggerate 3’s stack
What are visual cues for
1) . Outside 6K
2) . 6K
3) . 5K
4) . 4K
5) . Less than 4K
1) . Cigar with vert tail, no burner cans
2) . burner cans barely visible
3) . L shape boat tail, canopy details, burner cans
4) . Canopy distinguishable from fuselage, see but not read tail letters
5) . Can read tail letters, detail on ac, beacon visible
What is ref for a 1500’ stack?
Two beer cans above or below the horizon
What is tac LAB?
4000-6000’, 2000’ stack max, LAB to 10 deg aft
What are the starting parameters and execution for the G-x?
420+/-20 KCAS
6000’
For the warmup, 100 deg AOB 8-12 deg NL, top HUD on horizon
For the awareness, 120-135 deg AOB 15-25 deg NL, top mirror on horizon
3-5 deg NH to mx 420 and climb back up for second turn
What are the 3 basic axioms of BFM?
1) . Lose sight, lose the fight
2) . Maneuver in relation to the bandit
3) . Energy vs nose position
In general stay padlocked until when:
predictable, easy to see, and not threatening
What is the def of turn rate and radius?
deg/sec hdg change on a given TC, higher turn rate travels across the circle faster.
Half the size of the TC.
What is AOT?
AA (when talking about defender). Angle off tail.
What is ATA?
Antenna train angle or AON.
What is the control zone?
2500-4500’ slant range, 25-45 deg aspect angle cone
aim off distance (AOD)
Distance beyond a target predictable for weapons delivery. No wind projected flight path of ac in a dive delivery
aim off point (AOP)
Point on the ground, long of the target, to which the ac must fly during a weapon’s delivery pass. It is a ground ref to fly to until track is set
Dive angle
planned angle of dive for weapons delivery
Initial pipper placement (IPP)
Angle from the tgt to a point in the HUD in mils at track alt
Initial AIM off angle (IAA)
Angle between the AOP and target at track alt (setting FPM a planned number of deg above the tgt at track alt)
initial target placement (ITP)
angular distance between the horizon to tgt in degrees (IAA plus planned dive angle=ITP; good wire ref but NOT a track ref
Mil
1/1000th of a radian; 1’ at a 1000’, 1 deg is 17.45 mils
Min release alt (MRA)
contingency alt for safe escape, separation, fuze arming criteria
percent bomb fall line (%BFL)
Alternate HUD track ref–same as IAA
release alt
actual alt at which weapons delivery occurs
track ref
position or point in the HUD used to mx or correct ac to planned wire. IAA and BFL are examples
track alt
alt at which hud ref valid. BFL and IAA relationships only good at track alt
