Advanced TAC form Flashcards
A tac turn <90 degrees into Wing, will put Wing where?
Well-acute
What corrections can be made for a tac turn <90 degrees into wing?
- Begin turn later than normal (after intakes on)
- (Technique: when Lead rolls wings level to new heading, begin turn
- 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
What do you do for a tac turn away from Wing (into Lead) that is <90 degrees of turn?
- 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
- 300 KIAS/14 units
When do you initiate a tact turn for any turn between 60 and 90 degrees of heading change into Wing?
-Initiate turn before intakes on sight picture
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 acute, what do you do?
- 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
An in-place turn into Lead that is less than 180 degrees will put Wing where?
Sucked
An in-place turn into Lead that is greater than 180 degrees will put Wing where?
Acute
When will Wing be visual of Lead in an in-place turn into wing?
After 130-140 degrees of turn
When will Wing be visual of Lead in an in-place turn into Lead?
- 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
What is the 90 degree checkpoint?
Checking Lead’s position 90 degrees prior to the new heading
What should you be looking at during the 90 degree checkpoint during an in-place turn?
- Lead’s position in the HUD
- Lead’s aspect
- Assess who will get to the new heading first
At the 90 degree checkpoint, where should Lead be?
- Fuselages are aligned
- Lead is in the middle of the HUD
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?
Lead
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?
Lead
