Basic Section

Intro

The Basic Syllabus gives an overall picture of what is expected to be accomplished by our A-10C pilots and should be seen as a minimum level of knowledge. The syllabus should be used to identify educational needs and help you set up training goals for the next sortie. When you can complete all parts of the syllabus without the need for external assistance, you should be well prepared to complete the Basic Qualification.

If not specified in the Syllabus all procedures are to be followed as described in the A-10C II Manual.

If you are new to the MA-community, be sure to read about our procedures around the airfield (Linked below) to ensure everyone can have a safe training environment. Good luck and have fun!

The A-10C is a well thought out aircraft where you can manage almost everything through HOTAS commands, at the beginning you should focus on learning some basic ones and make sure you have them bound to your throttle and stick.

Set SOI (Coolie switch on throttle)
Mark (TMS on stick)
Hook (TMS on stick)
Set/reset SPI (TMS on stick)
Slew sensors to SPI/STEER PT (China Hat on throttle)
