guys guys guys!
rolling in from 50k* -- approach perpendicular to the runway
8)
on the deck, 500kts at 500ft **
as you cross the runway throttle to idle and deploy speed brake, pop-up -- break-turn to reciprocal heading at 1500-ft pattern altitude at 225kts with spacing like so...
(yeah, i'm a little close - i like the rwy to be a little more out towards the wingtip..)
when abeam the threshold, throttle to idle and flaps and gear ---- make speed 185kts
when you're 45-deg from the end of the runway, perch turn: 45-deg bank and 7-10 deg nose down ----- set on-speed alpha to between 20-22 units (yeah i know, i'm a little over - but i started the perch turn a lil inside so i'm having to horse that nose around..)
smoothly swing the velocity vector to a point just past the numbers - grease it on...
are you flying a FIGHTER? or a CESSNA??

* roll-in from 50k ft completely optional - but worth 10 extra points
** dash-one specifies a maximum of 6k lbs fuel onboard for OHD BRKs
