A-10C Formation Flight Fundamentals Training

Recommended Posts

Ladies and gentlemen -

 

On Sunday, 23 February 2014, the Hardcore Gaming Clan will be hosting its second formation flight training fundamentals class. We will have a guest instructor from the Virtual Patriots L-39 aerobatic demonstration team. Currently the class is scheduled for 6PM GMT.

 

The class will be live streamed on twitch for those who are unable to attend.

 

For those interested in participating, please respond by Sunday the 16th with your attendance. Special aircraft accommodations may be considered on an individual basis, but we require to know how many A-10C pilots to provide aircraft to, and how many will need hot-start vs. cold start aircraft.

 

Training will originate from Tiblisi on the map. We will provide a navigation course and would prefer to divide up into flights of two, so that individual groups or friends may go off and practice formation fundamentals after the lecture.

 

Any advanced questions may be posted here as well.

 

To sign up, please simply respond to this thread stating that you are interested and intend to show up.

 

Thank you for your interest, and keep the shiny side up! :pilotfly:

 

V/R,

linebacker

Oh great I get to be the special snowflake. I don't want to mess things up for everyone else. I could make 1900Z but that might be cutting it close (i.e. don't wait for me if I'm late ;) ).

 

Any time limit on the ramp start? Usually takes me about 8~9 minutes...I have no clue what's considered "normal"....

Update, we'll be starting ops at 7PM GMT for snowflake.

 

"Normal" ramp start is 4 minutes. In the time that your INS is aligning you can start setting everything else up. 10 minutes to start should be okay, since we will be talking, briefing and instructing to begin with.

 

SGAT, we'll try to find a way to get you an A-10C with 12 AIM-120's.
