Eddie Posted April 25, 2016 Author Share Posted April 25, 2016 Yeah I'd echo Snoopy's remarks on not printing just yet, at least not if its going to be an issue to add updates down the line. There is an extra page that crept in when the doc was exported to pdf and that'll be fixed in the next release. In the mean time if anyone does find and typos and the like please do let us know.

Panhead Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 In the mean time if anyone does find and typos and the like please do let us know.Oh, man. You guys have knocked it out of the park with this one. Seriously, this is a great resource. As far as typos, etc., there aren't too many, considering the volume of information. I've documented a few below, after a quick once over. Keep in mind, I'm no grammar expert, nor am I a technical pub author. I may be far off base with my observations, and if anything I have noted below is incorrect, please accept my apologies. Also note, all page numbers refer to the PDF reader paging, rather than the numbers on the document pages. Punctuation Page 16 2.2.1.3 Prioritizing Tasks First paragraph, second sentence. Extra punctuation (period). Style (case) Page 18 2.2.6 Mission Planning Last item in list, NOTAMS - Consider NOTAMs instead. Unsure of the word Notices, as it is obviously used in a plural manner. Style Entire document Inconsistent usage of e.g. Some instances use the American style (with a comma after the period), and others use the British style (no comma). Punctuation Page 32 2.8.2 Unusual Attitude Recovery Second paragraph, first sentence. An unusual attitude may be recognized by looking out the canopy; by observing the ADI; or by noting unusual or unexpected indications on the performance instruments. Consider using commas instead of semi-colons. Punctuation Page 32 2.8.2 Unusual Attitude Recovery Second paragraph, fourth sentence. Crosscheck other sources of attitude information – standby attitude indicator; VVI; altimeter – to identify whether the aircraft is climbing or descending. Consider using commas instead of semi-colons. (Note semi-colons are the Devils' work, and I have never mastered it - or proper use of apostrophes for that matter, so I may be wrong, here.) Formatting Page 33 2.8.4 Instrument Flight Rule Departure Inconsistent highlighted text. Possibly a proofreading mark left in. Formatting Page 33 2.8.7 Point-to-Point Inconsistent highlighted text. Possibly a proofreading mark left in. Formatting Page 96 4.3 Aircraft Handling Characteristics Inconsistent highlighted text. Possibly a proofreading mark left in. This one is most certainly awaiting further edits as the document is refined by the authors. Formatting Entire document When referencing procedures within TO 1A-10C-476CL-1, 476th vFG A-10C Flight Crew Checklist, in the text, some headings/topics within said document are either underlined or not underlined. Not Underlined example paragraph: 6.7.1 Post Air Refueling Checks Underlined example paragraph: 2.9.2 Taxi-in and Shut Down Consider choosing one format or the other. Formatting Entire document Errant space before or after the forward slash There a million forward slashes - ROFL. I gave up after finding 11 extra spaces. Formatting Page 65-66 3.5.1 Transitions Inconsistent highlighted text. The highlight is light blue, and not reflected anywhere else in the document. Spelling Page 68 First paragraph, first sentence after Figure 3-19 you instead of your Sorry, if I come across as pedantic. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panhead Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 (edited) A few more. Spelling Page 163 5.7.5.6 Pipper Track Last sentence toll-in instead of roll-in (unless we have to pay money for attacking, of course :) ) Punctuation Page 172 5.8.5.1 RAP Errors Last sentence Missing period. ::clint:: Tense Page 175 5.10.2.1 CCIP Rockets Second paragraph placed, instead of place Spelling Page 184 5.13.2 Employment Second Paragraph, third sentence TMS-AFL/LONG Punctuation Page 185 5.14.2 WCMD Last sentence Missing period. ::psyduck:: Spelling Page 189 5.15.4.4 Dive Toss (DT) First sentence pup-up, instead of pop-up (or just pup?).

The Kindle is showing nothing at the download link, yet shows perfectly when going to the link from the computer. A lot of it you won't want while flying, it's more reference material. There are some tables and key bits that you might want. I've clipped a few key pages out into the tablet I use in-flight. 476th vFighter Group Main Page -- YouTube -- Discord Scaley AV YouTube - More videos from the 476th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddie Posted June 18, 2016 Author Share Posted June 18, 2016 Yes but not in the short term working on our threat guide and NTTR stuff primarily at the moment. If you do print it out then you can always just replace individual pages as we add the few remaining images over time.
