LATI Flashcards
Define LAT
Low altitude tactics
Aircraft employment that uses terrain/man made objects.
Purpose of LAT
Enhances survivability by degrading enemies ability to detect visibly, optically, electronically.

200
220
240
LAT should only be used when ______ and/or ______ prevent use of medium or high altitude tactics
Weather
Threat
It generally takes an experienced crew member __________ seconds to establish a new speed rush baseline.
30-60
What are 6 of some physical considerations while conducting LAT?
Optical Flow Speed rush baseline Stress and fatigue Aircrew coordination RADALT Sunrise/sunset
RADALT indicates altitude from ____________ ft
0-4,500
Turns greater than _____ AOB temporarily render the aircraft inoperative.

Typically, turbulence occurs when wind blows perpendicular to a mountain at ______ knots or more
25
What are the 2 LAT profiles and what are the parameters?
Low Level - selected constant altitude and airspeed
Contour-conforms to elevation of the earth, varies airspeed and altitude.

MAC is a single aircraft task and only achieved by a ______________ decent
Wings-level
-
-
- A common frequency is monitored by each flight
- each flight has their own discrete frequency
- flight separation along the route is pre-briefed
