Couple of questions on the Campaign

[canned_fire]

Hi,

A have a couple of questions :

 

On the missions, at range check-in, GCI gives instruction regarding the IFF code. I am familiar with general aviation mode-c transponder but I have no idea of IFF. Can you explain what is being said, and how the IFF should be set up based on that? I understand that IFF is not modeled, but just for fun I would like to set it up correctly.

 

When landing on runway 21R, after an overhead break, where do fighters usually turn base? Before the Speedway, after, or over it? On the F-5 I thing over the Speedway is about right, but I guess people would not appreciate dozens of jets flying overhead at 500 feet, so the question where do they usually turn base?

 

Thanks.:thumbup:

This page has a good explanation of IFF modes.

 

Our spins document indicates all aircraft will squawk MODE 3C which includes automatic altitude reporting.

 

1200 is used for general aviation so you could use that. Not sure what code would be used for real events. Likely classified given that much of the IFF details are classified.

 

For the Base turn, not sure what is accurate but

shows the turn directly over the Speedway.

According to the traffic pattern page 1 base turn is before speed way for fighter size aircraft.
