Hi,

Do you know what the following concepts entail for combat flight (see text in bold)?

Let’s  talk  about  how  you  will  get  to  that  engagement.  Think  back  to  my  F-14  Combat  Intercepts 
lecture [I understand they are not accessible but some info can be gleaned from this post, right?]) and what we talked about in terms of radar modes and sanitizing your assigned search sector
It’s not as important with a known 2v2, but a good time to practice.

Pilots,  we’re  looking  for  a  good  formation  during  the  intercept  and  at  the  merge.  Keep  a  good 
offensive split so if a bandit sees one fighter he may not see the other

 

Thanks

@Leviathan667 Sanitizing means when fighters fly in pairs, they agree beforehand about where to direct their radar scan in order to be more efficient. E.g. Lead scans 20k feet and above, wing scans 23k feet and below.

 

Offensive split means 'Tac spread', so the fighters being 1 mile abeam instead of a close formation - for the very reasons that Bio mentions. Also, the wing has to concentrate less on maintaining the position, and more on the intercept itself.
