Hippo Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 What does "ON FLEX" mean? e.g. not above 8000 ON FLEX. What do the five triangles mean (next to remain within 4 nm)? Thx.

PickleMonster Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 I've just picked this up today and not gotten into it just yet. But a quick read through the documentation shows that FLEX is the name of one of the air corridors. You can find the relevent information on Page 21 of the RF IFG NTTR.pdf document found in "Your DCS Install Folder\Mods\campaigns\FA-18C Aggressors BFM Campaign\Doc" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hippo Posted February 27, 2020 Author Share Posted February 27, 2020 FLEX appears to be a navigation point 4 nm away from LSV on the 335 radial. I don't know how a pilot following the chart is supposed to interpret the words "ON FLEX". It appears in four places on the chart.

Sabre-TLA Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 @Hippo ON FLEX means on the FLEX Departure route. Page 10 of the inflight guide describes the route and altitudes you should keep when on the route. For example below 3000 until past the race track then below 8000 while on FLEX until you intercept the 15 DME arc to turn south. Then you intercept the LSV R-267 radial at or about 10200 until you reach FYTTR. You should be at or above 14000 at FYTTR. Hope that helps.

Hippo Posted February 28, 2020 Author Share Posted February 28, 2020 (edited) on the FLEX Departure route Hope that helps. Yes it does, thank you. Sorry - I hadn't worked out that FLEX was also the name of the departure procedure. P.S. What does the line of five triangles on the chart (p9) represent?

Sabre-TLA Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 They are hard to make out from altitude but if you look at the satellite view of the area north of Nellis you will see some triangular shapes. They are on the chart as a reference point. I've highlighted one of them in the graphic below so you can make them out. 1 MapleFlagMissions - Read Our Blog for Updates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
