The Basic Syllabus gives an overall picture of what is expected to be accomplished by our F-14 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.

Home >> Aircraft Syllabi >> F-14 Tomcat Syllabus

If not specified in the Syllabus all procedures are to be followed as described in the F-14 Manual.

"F-14B Manual" can be found in the DCS installation folder "DCS World OpenBeta\Mods\aircraft\F14\Docs"

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!

- Runways
- Taxiways
- TACAN/ILS Freq
- Entry/Exit points

The goal should be to fly the F-14 as a crew (Pilot/RIO) to reach its full potential. However, In order to train effectively on your own, you as a pilot/RIO must be able to use Iceman/Jester. Therefore you should be able to complete everything described in the Pilot/RIO "Basic Section" below with Iceman/Jester. During Qualification your examiner will fly with you as Pilot/RIO.

Pilot

Basic Section

The Basic Syllabus gives an overall picture of what is expected to be accomplished by our F-14 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.

General

Radio/SRS

  • Set Transponder code (SRS)
  • Transmit/Receive on Intercom (PTT)
  • Power ON/OFF and transmit/receive in both MNL/PRESET MODE using:

- Radio 2 VHF (SRS)
  • Basic Comms as part of a flight (not as lead)
  • Tune ATIS-freq. Listen to and understand ATIS Information.

Landing

  • Landing (~500-700 feet/minute, no flare)
- After touchdown apply back stick for aerobraking and steer the aircraft with stick instead of rudder
  • Overhead break (Approach in runway direction, 300 kts IAS, 1500'. Break over runway (Throttle -> IDLE, Airbrake -> OUT, G≈1% of IAS), enter downwind, get "on speed" and land as explained above) http://wiki.masterarms.se/index.php/Fil:OverheadBreak.png
