_Dredd Posted March 17, 2013 Posted March 17, 2013 I'm hoping someone can assist, I've been reading through some Intercept Procedure guides and noticed the reference of initiating a "HAP turn" into the bogey or to a direction. I can't find anywhere what this abbreviation means? I've searched everything I have and google, but couldn't find it's meaning. Does anyone know? Any link to it's reference would be appreciated also. :helpsmilie: Current Flight Rig i7 4960X @ 4.6Ghz ASUS Rampage IV Formula G.SKILL TridentX 2400Mhz 32GB DDR3 Crucial 1TB MX300 SSD MSI Gaming X 1080Ti Samsung 55" JS8000 SUHD 4K Windows 10 x64 TrackIR 5, Warthog HOTAS Saitek Pro Flight Combat Pedals Custom Akers-Barnes, MkI eyeball.
Suchacz Posted March 17, 2013 Posted March 17, 2013 (edited) Maybe it has something to do with this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-altitude_platform ..maybe some climbing turn to gain some elevation advantage...? :dunno: Edited March 17, 2013 by Suchacz Per aspera ad astra!

_Dredd Posted March 17, 2013 Author Posted March 17, 2013 After some thinking and re-reading I believe its shorthand abbrev. for "Hard as possible". I thought at first it meant High Altitude Performance, etc.. but it didn't fit with the action required. Eg, recommit, throttle back, set mach and direct a "HAP" turn to bring the bogey back on the scope. Learn't something new , thanks anyway. :pilotfly: Current Flight Rig i7 4960X @ 4.6Ghz ASUS Rampage IV Formula G.SKILL TridentX 2400Mhz 32GB DDR3 Crucial 1TB MX300 SSD MSI Gaming X 1080Ti Samsung 55" JS8000 SUHD 4K Windows 10 x64 TrackIR 5, Warthog HOTAS Saitek Pro Flight Combat Pedals Custom Akers-Barnes, MkI eyeball.
