Eddie's extended checklist and 9-line guide

[elliott82]

Hi all,

 

my first post! I've been studying the A-10 Manual and procedures for a few weeks now and have always wondered how the pilots memorize the data given to them by the JTAC? Do they actually have a pen and write it down on their knee pad? Or do they type it in on the fly? What happens at night? Can they even see the knee pad writings through the goggles?

 

Sorry for the extremely dumb question but I wanna know it all :)

 

Cheers

 

P.S.: Thanks Eddie for the PDFs, helped me alot!

I am retty sure they write it down;

And they have to make read back of 4, 6, 8 plus restrictions.

 

Cheers

I personally type it on the fly, getting read back for anything I missed or want to double check. After awhile it just kind of fits in with the rest of the details of flying, You just get used to it.

 

If I am in Hot on a TIC. (Troops in Contact) I would most likely have to wait for the read back request till things calmed down a bit, and fly out of the hot zone so that I can focus if needed or able.
