| − | ''[[Home]] >> [[Aircraft Syllabi]] >> [[AH-64D Apache Syllabus]]'' | + | The intro flight is a newcomer's first familiarization flight. Its purpose is mainly to make sure all technical things work, make the newcomer feel welcome, go through some radio stuff and have some fun. It's not that important to learn any particular skills during the flight. That can come later. |
| | + | This article describes the content of the sortie. A newcomer is welcome to practice any moments before, but there is no requirement nor expectation to do so. |
| | | | |
| − | If not specified in the Syllabus all procedures are to be followed as described in the AH-64D Manual. <pre style="color: red">"DCS AH-64D Quick Start Manual EN" can be found in the DCS installation folder "DCS World OpenBeta\Mods\aircraft\AH-64D\Doc"</pre>
| + | However, all newcomers are expected to have gone through the [[Technical Checklist]] carefully, before the flight. This step is important. You're more than welcome to ask for help if you have any issues following the guide, but please don't ignore any of the mandatory steps. |
| | | | |
| − | 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!
