F-15E Strike Eagle Syllabus

WIP!

If not specified in the Syllabus all procedures are to be followed as described in the F-15E Manual.

"F-15E Manual" can be found in the DCS installation folder "DCS World OpenBeta\Mods\aircraft\F-15E\Doc"

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!

• Airport procedures
• Airport charts

- Runways

- Taxiways

- TACAN/ILS Freq

- Entry/Exit points

The goal should be to fly the F-15E as a crew (Pilot/WSO) to reach its full potential. However, In order to train effectively on your own, you as a pilot/WSO must be able to use AI. Therefore you should be able to complete everything described in the Pilot/WSO "Basic Section" below with AI. During Qualification your examiner will fly with you as Pilot/WSO.

Pilot

Basic Section

The Basic Syllabus gives an overall picture of what is expected to be accomplished by our F-15E 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.
