Form Flashcards
Priorities for wingman
- Formation
- Comm
- Nav/Switches
tactical form priorities
- LAB
- range
- stack
Stack on departure
low if possible unless excess energy
6000’
burner barely visible; clearly see beacons; L shape
4000’
canopy distinct- VHF antenna
tac turns at 20k +
start turn earlier
easy hook
60 degrees 5 NH. MATCH LEAD THROUGH 90, belly checks
really close at the start of a hook turn
use the vertical to gain distance
close for a delayed turn
go EARLY
wide for a delayed turn
go LATE
when to fix 4-6k spacing and lateral in the MOA
post fight flow- delayed turns
priorities after fight
POSITION - 1. 4-6k 2. 350 knots MIL climb 3. LAB in turns fuel floor borders (when is joker?) reset reload (ops check)
fighting wing reference/tips
clearly see EN, barely read tail, wingtip on aft canopy. avoid getting a ton of HCA at start of a turn because you will get spit out. keep MIL until you get the stack on him that you want
if you know hes going to turn into you, collapse first to make the turn easier. ease off slightly then immediately get into the pull
priorities during tac turns
glance at SIT before going for idea of heading
stay on contract - 350 level
look for lead early; belly checks during hook turns
try not to be more than +/- 20 from 350
formation approach - “stack level”
align the gear doors, nuggets on horizon
err on the higher side because if you’re lower and he is drug in you are effed,
RTB out of the moa, what to anticipate
slowing to 300
RJ to fighting wing
get ATIS - 21 prime (identifier, runway, altimeter)
