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 on the DCS website. (Link below)

F-15E 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.

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

In addition to what is described above and in the syllabus, you are expected to have knowledge regarding:

  • Basic Comms as part of a flight (not as lead)
  • ATIS (Preset 25 on Radio 2 in F-15E)
  • 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.
  • Navigate To/From or in reference to a TACAN using Radials and information provided by the in-cockpit instruments or projected on HUD.


The goal should be to fly the F-15E as a crew (Pilot/WSO) to reach its full potential and during Qualification your examiner will fly with you as Pilot/WSO. However, you as a pilot/WSO might need to use functions / carry out procedures that are normally carried out by the other crew member in order to train effectively on your own.

Good luck and have fun!

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.
