Here are some exercises to get prepared for Sabre's Flight Qualification campaigns requirements.

 

Immelman and Split-S complementary nature has the friendly side effect of leaving us ready for the other maneuver when executed properly.

While executing one of these maneuvers, banking beyond -10...+10 while pitch is beyond -10...+10 is considered a failure. This means, that banking upside down and back must be executed at level flight.

1. Added more messages and audible cues.

2. Added a Cuckoo, an Evacuation alarm and a Chime tone triggered by Cockpit Argument #152 == VHF FM Radio 2 Control Panel--Frequency Mode Dial.
