BTI Flashcards
What is a Phase 1 VID?
Rear sector procedure by day in VMC down to appropriate MSR.
What is a Phase 2 VID?
A rear sector procedure by night with or without NVGs on a lit target in VMS down to appropriate MSR.
What is a Phase 3 VID?
A rear sector procedure by day or night, with or without NVGs to the appropriate MSR.
VMC: Unlit target
IMC: Lit target
What is a Phase 4 VID?
A front sector offensive procedure by day in VMC controlled by a radar equipped interceptor.
What is a Phase 5 VID?
A rear sector passing procedure where the target altitude or speed prevent stabilised Phase 1-3 VIDs.
How are turns flown whilst on CAP?
Full power, speed sustaining, no combat flap.
What are the self-commit criteria?
Groups with:
>90 degrees TASP (i.e. are Hot)
Less than 50nm from CAP datum.
What is the SOP radar setup whilst on CAP?
80nm
70/70
2 bar
0 elevation
Cursor at 20nm
What are the SOP ML sanctuaries on IV sqn?
Blue: 0-4k ft.
Red: 5-9k ft
What are the SOP LL sanctuaries on IV Sqn?
Blue: >2000ft AGL
Red: <1000ft AGL.
State the basic flow of a stern PI up to the point where you reach 1.5nm.
Commit
Detect
Declare
2D geometry to drive for 16 TASP
3D geometry to drive for sanctuary
SWATT Cx
At 16 TASP, fly the collision.
23nm - L3 Cx
20nm - Fly the reciprocal.
15TASP @ 15nm - how goes it.
14TASP (10nm) begin turn towards target.
Adjust turn to achieve:
14T at 10nm
13T at 7.5nm
12T at 5nm
09T at 3nm
Explain RATARS
In final turn of a stern PI:
Range gate reached before Aspect, you are Tight.
Aspect gate reached before Range, you are slack.
State the basic flow of a LL Phase 4 VID.
Commit
Once rolled out, roll radar elevation down to cover described location.
Detect and STT.
Make “targeted” call.
2D Geometry - Drive for, then maintain 18 TASP.
SWATT Cx
(MRM, ARM, TCAS Off)
Complete SMARTL Cx prior to reaching 2000ft AGL - ideally straight after SWATT.
At 28nm, start a 10 degree ND (idle) descent. Intercept 420kts and then use throttle to maintain.
At 20nm, place the bogey at 60ATA.
At 15TASP (usually about 8nm), fly the collision.
Call “Ninja 2, in [left/ right].
Select SRM and slave.
Gain tally.
At 0.5nm make the declaration.
State the LL VID tally scan.
Set VV to honour sanctuary.
Attempt Tally (2s)
Check range
Check collision dot
Attempt Tally (2s)
Check range
Check collision dot
Still in sanctuary?
Repeat.
What should you do on a LL VID if not tally by 0.5nm.
Drop wing and look below.
If still no joy, remain in sanctuary and return to CAP.
