Donut Posted March 17, 2019 Posted March 17, 2019 In the Nellis Landing Instant Action Mission, it has a pattern altitude of 1,500 AGL. Is this correct or should we always be simulating a carrier Case I pattern with an initial altitude of 800 then down to 600? i5 7600K @4.8GHz | 1080 Ti | 32GB 3200MHz | SSD | DCS SETTINGS | "COCKPIT"
Victory205 Posted March 17, 2019 Posted March 17, 2019 Land based at USN bases was typically 800 AGL, sometimes higher for noise abatement mostly. USAF bases were much higher, 1500-2000, those guys were afraid of the ground... FAA/ICAO rules are turbo jets must maintain 1500 AGL until lower is required to facilitate landing.

If for no other reason than to continue to hammer in that muscle memory of what the approach is supposed to look like. :thumbup: [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
