Q

What corrections do you make for an in-place turn away from wing that is more than 180 degrees?

A
  • Catch up
    1) Max perform the turn until you can make a visual assessment of your position
    2) Initiate the roll and pull while you are making the radio call
  • Look outside to assess Lead’s position when on the last 45-50 degrees of turn

Q

If you max perform the jet during an in-place turn away from wing that is greater than 180 degrees, what must you be cogniscent about?

A
  • You will roll out much closer to Lead’s jet

- Make proper abeam corrections when appropriate

Q

When will Wing be visual of Lead in an in-place turn into wing?

A

After 130-140 degrees of turn

19
Q

When will Wing be visual of Lead in an in-place turn into Lead?

A
  • Only during the first 90-120 degrees of turn

- Because you will be blind for the remainder of the turn, have A/A TACAN and altitude in your scan

20
Q

What is the 90 degree checkpoint?

A

Checking Lead’s position 90 degrees prior to the new heading

21
Q

What should you be looking at during the 90 degree checkpoint during an in-place turn?

A
  • Lead’s position in the HUD
  • Lead’s aspect
  • Assess who will get to the new heading first
22
Q

At the 90 degree checkpoint, where should Lead be?

A
  • Fuselages are aligned

- Lead is in the middle of the HUD

23
Q

If at the 90 degree checkpoint during an in-place turn, Lead is high in the HUD/canopy bow, who will get to the new heading first?

A

Lead

24
Q

If at the 90 degree checkpoint during an in-place turn, we are looking at greater than 10-15 degrees angle off Lead’s tail, who will get to the new heading first?

A

Lead

25
Q

If at the 90 degree checkpoint during an in-place turn, you assess that Lead is beating you in the turn, what do you do?

A

Select MRT and increase pull to catch up

26
Q

If at the 90 degree checkpoint during an in-place turn, Lead is low in our HUD, who will get to the new heading first?

A

Wing

27
Q

If at the 90 degree checkpoint, during an in-place turn, we are looking down Lead’s tailpipe or at the bottom of the aircraft, who will get to the new heading first?

A

Wing

28
Q

If at the 90 degree checkpoint, during an in-place turn, you assess that you are beating Lead to the new heading, what do you do?

A

Slow the turn and allow Lead to catch up

29
Q

What corrections need to be made during an in-place turn less than 180 degrees into Wing?

A

Initially tighten the turn and pull hard or begin turning early (during the comm call) to achieve the proper 90 degree checkpoint

30
Q

What corrections need to be made during an in-place turn greater than 180 degrees into Wing?

A
  • Initially float the pull
  • At the 90 degree checkpoint Lead will be in the middle of the HUD, but with a higher than normal angle off Lead’s tail
  • Tighten pull during the checkpoint to align fuselages
  • Set appropriate pull when you go blind for the last 90 degrees of turn
31
Q

What is a good memory aid for tac turn into Wing on when to turn?

A
  • Short-wait/Long-pull

- Short is long/Long is short

32
Q

What is a good memory aid for in-place turns?

A
  • If the heading is on Lead’s side, go early/tighten turn

- If the heading is on your side, wait/float turn

33
Q

During an in-place turn into Wing, when is it critical to look outside?

A

The last 40-50 degrees of turn

34
Q

During an in-place turn away from Wing, when is it critical to look outside?

A

The 90 degree checkpoint

35
Q

At the 90 degree checkpoint, you see that Lead is low in the HUD and you are seeing the bottom of Lead’s jet, what do you do?

A
  • Ease the pull
  • Drive to proper sight picture
  • Maintain altitude step-up
  • Establish 14 unit pull
  • Expect to roll-out on heading tight
36
Q

At the 90 degree checkpoint, you see that Lead is in the middle of the HUD and you are seeing the bottom of Lead’s jet, what do you do?

A
  • Ease the pull to 11-12 units for 1 second
  • Reestablish pull
  • Expect to be slightly tight when rolled-out on new heading
37
Q

At the 90 degree checkpoint, you see that Lead is on top of the HUD or higher and you are seeing the bottom of Lead’s jet, what do you do?

A
  • Pull Lead into the HUD
  • Let angles off tail build (no more than 1 second)
  • Re-establish 14 unit pull
38
Q

At the 90 degree checkpoint, you see that Lead is low in the HUD and you are at 0 degrees angle off tail, what do you do?

A
  • Ease pull to 11-12 units for 1 second
  • Re-establish pull

39
Q

At the 90 degree checkpoint, you see that Lead is in the center to top of HUD and that you are at 0 degrees angle off tail, what do you do?

A

Maintain 14 unit pull, this is what you want to see

40
Q

At the 90 degree checkpoint, you see that Lead is on top of the HUD or higher and you are at 0 degrees angle off tail, what do you do?
