Am looking for A-10C teacher on the attack phase.

Hi

 

I am proficient in the A-10C on navigation and guided weapons deployment, A2A Refuelling , although I do suck using MK82's in CCIP mode. Landing and Take off and Radio's no problem. As you can see in my sig I have passed the Advanced Maple Flag exams, so you might be surprised I need help. I'm embarrassed to say I need help with the items below. There are loads of videos out there, but nothing that really covers the specific issues I have.

 

I need help with

 

1) Sometimes I struggle to find things in the target area. If the target/ point of interest is at the exact steerpoint or coordinates then I can usually find things with the TGP. If however it's some way up the road or in the general vicinity then sometimes I can find them quickly and other times not for ages if at all. I think I fixate too much on the TGP and not the Mk1 eyeball. It doesn't help that the TGP seems not good at the moment or at least the FLIR. If I am told that the target ir convoy is too the North of the SP, then it's head in the TGP and using the compass in the TGP and slewing North. Again sometimes I get lucky and sometimes nothing. It may be that I am too close to accurately search and this may be something I need to be taught.

 

 

2) Once the targets are found I have no real plan of action and tend to just create a SPI and keep flying towards and away from that SPI as I attack. I don't consider which way or direction I am attacking from and tend to just fly away from the target and turn in a circle and reattack. If the target has moved then I am in trouble as my situational awareness is crap. The Target and SPI were there and if they move then I am back to circling and trying to get them again with the TGP which as you can see from point 1 can be a struggle.

 

So I am not looking for a long term teacher, but someone who can spend a night or 2 making or recommending missions that we can fly together and get this final piece of the puzzle for me please.

 

PM me if you can help.

 

Much appreciate and thanks
