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

Radio/SRS

  • Set Transponder code (SRS)
  • Transmit/Receive on Itercom (PTT)
  • Power ON/OFF and transmit/receive in both MNL/PRESET MODE using:
    • Radio 1 UHF (SRS)
    • Radio 2 VHF (SRS)
  • Basic Comms as part of a flight (not as lead)
  • Tune ATIS-freq. Listen to and understand ATIS Information.


Flying

Startup

  • Cold Start, p.341-353 in manual (ask mentor or in #Tomcat-channel on discord for quickstart checklist)

Takeoff

In-flight

  • Standard Climb (Military Power, use pitch to maintain 5 units of AoA)
  • Economy Cruise (adjust throttle for 8.5 units of AoA)
  • Navigation
- Visually navigate between two points using for example terrain objects as guidence (the compass and an empty F10 map may be used)
- Follow several waypoints in succession (flightplan) using information provided by the in-cockpit instruments or projected on HUD/HSD.
- Navigate To/From or in reference to a TACAN using Radials and the courseline on HSD
  • Autopilot
- Engage Attitude hold.
- Engage Altitude hold.
  • Fuel quantity indicator:
- Set Bingo quantity
- Read Total/Wing/Ext. fuel quantity
  • Fence In / Fence Out procedures
  • Emergency Jettison
  • On-speed Flying
- Level Flight (Pick an altitude, dirty up and go on-speed maintaining altitude)
- Turning (Perform ~30 degree bank turns maintaining altitude)
- Careful climbing and descending (around 500 feet/minute)
- Quickly going from ordinary flight (around 350 kts IAS) to on-speed flying.

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
  • Traffic Pattern Touch'n'Go Practice (maintain on-speed, climb to 1500', turn downwind to end up ~1.5 NM from course line, turn final and descend when wingtip passes runway threshold)


Combat

Air-To-Air

  • Radar
- Understand the doppler filters MLC/ZDF
  • ACM-mode
  • Activate ACM-mode
  • Acquire lock on single maneuvering target (MiG-21) using:
- PLM
- VSL
  • Use ACM Jettison
  • Gun
  • Hit single maneuvering target. (MiG-21)
  • AIM-9 Sidewinder

- SEAM-mode
  • Hit single maneuvering target. (MiG-21)
  • AIM-7 Sparrow
  • Fire in:

- Normal-mode
  • Hit single maneuvering target. (MiG-21)
  • AIM-54 Phoenix
  • Fire AIM-54 Phoenix (clearence from RIO) in:
- TWS
- PD-STT
- P-STT
  • Hit single maneuvering target. (MiG-21)

Air-To-Ground

  • Gun
  • Obtain rounds on static target
Example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bdaBRMG5yN4 (Start from 8000', roll in, ~30 degree dive angle, 400-500 kts, fire short burst at ~3000' and pull up)
  • Unguided bombs
  • Low drag
- Release in Computer Pilot mode.
- Hit static area-target
Examples: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gVuLCGKKqvI (Start from 8000', roll in, ~30 degree dive angle, 400-500 kts, drop at ~4000' and pull up)

Defence

  • Reading the RWR (Further from center means more danger)
  • Deploy flares
  • Evade enemy missile by putting it on your 3 o'clock or 9 o'clock (Evaluate in TacView)
