==What is mission qualification within Master Arms?==

Mission qualification is simply a tool for Master Arms' pilots to review and assess their knowledge and skills in avation, communication and operation of a specific type of aircraft. Mission qualification is not required to participate in Master Arms missions.

The goals of the mission qualification program are:

# Help pilots find gaps or flaws in their knowledge and their skills, so that they know how to improve.
# Give pilots the confidence that they can successfully participate in a Master Arms mission.
# Foster a culture of mentorship so that pilots help eachother improve.

A pilot that has been mission qualified will have their name listed in the #mission-quals Discord channel.

==What is mission qualification NOT?==

Mission qualification is NOT meant as a tool for hiearchy, rank or authority. A mission qualified pilot is simply someone who took an interest in assessing their knowledge and skills, and eventually lived up to a certain standard. Anyone, mission qualified or not, is encouraged to participate in Master Arms events, both as lead and wingman.

==How is the mission qualification performed?==

A fellow qualified pilot ("the examiner") shadows the candidate during a whole training mission, privately, and assesses the candidate's performance.

The examiner also assists the mission process by:

# Acting as ATC and package controller, in a simplified form.
# Briefly acting as flight lead when the candidate demonstrates ability to rejoin and maintain formation.
# Facilitating buddyspike/raygun calls.
# Participating in the overhead break.

Pilots are encouraged to use TacView so that issues can be reviewed after the mission.

==Who can confirm someone as mission qualified?==

Anyone who is mission qualified, and has participated in at least one mission, can confirm a fellow pilot as mission qualified. However, the mission qualification protocol must be strictly adhered to, where applicable to the airframe used.

==Mission Qualification protocol==

The contents of the mission qualification is very similar to the [[Intro Flight]]. But here, the pilot is expected to demonstrate a self-sufficiency in navigation, radio communication and completing mission objectives.

The candidate should demonstrate, where applicable, proficiency in the following procedures:

# Cold start
# Changing radio presets
# Joker/Bingo settings
# Dumb bomb Configuration
# Checking in (examiner pretends to be wingman)
# Request taxi from ATC
# Read back any instructions received over radio (whole mission)
# Follow taxi instructions
# 2-ship takeoff or CASE 1 departure
# Waypoint navigation
# Report own bullseye position
# Anchor on [[Radials|radial]]+distance from airfield/carrier (examiner gives random position)
# Fence In / Fence Out procedures (examiner pretends to be wingman)
# Raygun / Buddyspike procedures (examiner assists)
# Using radio communication to locate and safely rejoin flight lead (examiner acts as lead)
# Formation flying: Echelon and 1 NM Trail (examiner acts as lead)
# Basic Radar Usage and Fox 3 Launch
# "Fox" and "Splash" Calls
# Find and join up with tanker
# Air-to-air refuel (''optional'')
# Dropping dumb bombs with appropriate maneuvering
# Using countermeasures pre-emptively
# TACAN/Waypoint navigation to airfield or carrier
# Contact airfield ATC on correct channel
# Overhead Break over airfield or CASE 1 recovery
# Land using correct procedure for airframe

Upon a completed mission qualification, the examiner reports this on Discord so that an administator can update the #mission-quals list.
