BFM Flashcards
For the M-56 ammo, the wide end of the funnel appoximates ___ - ___ feet target range and the narrow end, ___ - ___ feet, depending on altitude. For the PGU-28 ammo, the wide end of the funnel approximates ___ feet range and the narrow end, ___-___ feet, depending on altitude.
500-600 feet / 2700-3000 feet / 600 feet / 5500-6000 feet
The lower (smaller) horizontal bar (4 mR bar; ___-G pipper) is the lead angle for a target executing ___ of turn
Max-g / Max. sustained rate of turn
Upon trigger squeeze and hold, the FEDS dots will travel down the funnel for a maximum of ___ sec.
1.4 sec
The BATR will only be displayed if the target is within bullet range (default value of ___ ft for the PGU-28 ammo or the default value of ___ ft for the M-56 ammo).
12,000 ft / 4,000 ft
Air-to-Air Switchology Drill (AASD) parameters: ___-___ ft and +/- ___ degrees.

In the F-16, turn radius at max AOA/G is relatively constant over an airspeed range of ___ KCAS up to ___ KCAS. Above ___ KCAS, turn radius increases slightly as max G is ontained (___ KCAS). Above ___ KCAS, turn radius increases dramatically.
170 KCAS / 330 KCAS / 440 KCAS / 440 KCAS
The F-16 can generate instantaneous turn rates near ___ degrees/sec
19 degrees/sec
(Effects of altitude) If altitude is a factor, select AB and fly a ___ G to ___ G slightly Nose-Low Extension maneuver.
0.7 G to 0.9 G
(Effects of Airspeed) As a rule of thumb, the best acceleration rates occur in the speed range from ___ to ___ KCAS.
300-400 KCAS
Accelerate to the TC. Accelerate in AB until ___ KCAS to ___ KCAS.
450 KCAS to 480 KCAS
