What are the phases of lost link? Explain what happens at each one.
Initial entry phase: determines if it is at lost link altitude, set weapons and lasers to safe, and set fuel management and de-ice to auto.
Loiter climb phase: set its self for best rate of climb, and climbs for 30 min or until lost link altitude is reached. If not reached after 30 min makes its way to contingency while on a climb.
Contingency phase: heads to contingency waypoints and continues to the last 6 waypoints set.

Types of Drag?
- Parasitic. (SWIFPI)
- Form
- Interference
- Skin friction
- Wave
- Induced
- Parasitic drag: Parasite drag is comprised of all the forces that work to slow an aircraft’s movement. As the term parasite implies, it is the drag that is not associated with the production of lift.
- Form drag: Form drag is the portion of parasite drag generated by the aircraft due to its shape and airflow around it. Examples include the engine cowlings, antennas, and the aerodynamic shape of other components.
- Interference drag: Interference drag comes from the intersection of airstreams that creates eddy currents, turbulence, or restricts smooth airflow.
- Skin friction: Skin friction drag is the aerodynamic resistance due to the contact of moving air with the surface of an aircraft.
- Wave drag: wave drag is a component of the aerodynamic drag on aircraft wings and fuselage, propeller blade tips and projectiles moving at transonic and supersonic speeds, due to the presence of shock waves.
- Induced drag: The second basic type of drag is induced drag. It is an established physical fact that no system that does work in the mechanical sense can be 100 percent efficient. This means that whatever the nature of the system, the required work is obtained at the expense of certain additional work that is dissipated or lost in the system. The more efficient the system, the smaller this loss.
What is Yaw?
(of a moving ship or aircraft) twist or oscillate about a vertical axis.
What is roll?

What is lift?
