What do you do when you get hit?

Paulrkii has a thread called "trng guides" or something similar. There you will find an emergency checklist which is pretty good. I think it's even based on real-world operations.

Thanks, that is exactly what I wanted.

I got hit by three manpads this morning on defend camp yankee. The only thing that seemed to work was the hsi/adi and the wobble ball. No ILS, CICU, CDU, EGI. Both wings had holes, flaps didn't work, FM radio was out. Was able to call ATC for vector home. After slowing down, and dropping gear, I decided to look from outside: no wheels on any of the gear. Turned just off the runway, pointed down and ejected. At least my wingman got to land ok.

eh. Here's my basic steps. If things change, i.e. something else fails, start back at step zero.

 

0. Altitude?

Look, ground. Big yellow handle.

 

1. Positive aircraft control.

Can I fly this thing still or is it a lawn dart? If lawn dart - big yellow handle.

 

2. Are the engines running/on fire?

Try to extinguish fire. Still on fire, big yellow handle. If no power at all, go to 4 and glide as far as possible back home. Make sure the .38 is loaded, then pull big yellow handle.

 

3. Look outside and see what's missing.

So that's why the rudder doesn't do much now.

 

4. Dump stores.

You know, I don't really want to make a *bigger* fireball if I explode.

 

5. Fuel leak?

Is that what I smell? Nurse as far back home as possible.

 

6. Start planning shortest most threat free way back to base.

Good thing I reviewed the briefing and have general vectors to get back to base pre-planned, even if only mentally.

 

7. Can I restart the black boxes at all?

 

8. Once closer, check systems to see if it's worth putting the gear down.

Don't want it stuck now. Sometimes the belly is more gentle.

 

9. Try the most gentle landing I can.

Oh, and make sure the meat wagon is rolling. I think I got a hangnail putting my flight gloves on earlier.

 

10. Enjoy drink at O-club or leave the base feet first.
