- As you are coming out of the turn, make corrections to fix bearing line
A tac turn >90 degrees into Wing, will put Wing where?
Well-sucked
What corrections can be made for a tac turn >90 degrees into wing?
- Begin turn earlier than intakes on (technique: turn 1-2 seconds before intakes on sight picture)
- Look over your shoulder for the last 40-50 degrees of turn
- As you are coming out of the turn, make corrections to fix bearing line

- Begin turn normally
- 300 KIAS/14 units
What do you do for a tac turn away from Wing (into Lead) that is >90 degrees of turn?
- Begin turn normally

- Slow downrange travel
- Ease pull to the new heading
If during a tac turn >90 degrees into wing, during the last 40-50 degrees of turn, you look over your shoulder and you look like you will roll out sucked, what do you do?
- Increase downrange travel
- Drop the nose and go MRT while pulling 17 units
An in-place turn into Wing that is less than 180 degrees will put Wing where?
Acute
An in-place turn into Wing that is greater than 180 degrees will put Wing where?
Sucked
What corrections do you make for an in-place turn away from wing that is less than 180 degrees?
- Delay the turn by 1-2 seconds
- Initiate 300/14 unit pull
- Look outside to assess Lead’s position when on the last 45-50 degrees of turn
What corrections do you make for an in-place turn away from wing that is more than 180 degrees?
- 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
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?
- You will roll out much closer to Lead’s jet
- Make proper abeam corrections when appropriate
How are off-heading in-place turn into Lead different from in-place turns away from Lead?
The corrections are opposite
