| − | The CAS qualification ensures that our pilots and JTAC’s follow the standard procedure set by MA regarding CAS. The CAS qualification aims to give our pilots '''who have received their wings''' another goal/milestone to work towards. Since CAS is a procedure where own troops and/or civilians are close to the target the pilot should have good knowledge about weapon delivery, navigation and '''passed the CAS qualification for the specific aircraft that will be used during CAS-missions.''' As a JTAC you should be well-informed regarding routines/procedures concerning laser tactics, target availability assessment and so on. A misdirected engagement could result in catastrophic consequences. | + | The purpose of "Quickstart Checklists" is to make it easier for new members to carry out a startup in a new model. Be sure to check out [https://wiki.masterarms.se/index.php/Aircraft_Procedures TTP] for repective module and MA [https://wiki.masterarms.se/index.php/Home#Standard_Operating_Procedures SOP] for mandatory steps during startup. In addition, these checklists show only one of many different ways to carry out a startup and there is room to change the order of certain points to suit the pilot's own preferences. |

| − | ====Basic Qualification CAS====
| + | The "System Startup Checklist" aims to be easily memorized by walking around the cockpit from left to right.</br> |
| − | BQ CAS focus on the basic of CAS procedures for a specific role and therefore divided in to three sections, all with its own qualification:
| + | When performing a "Full startup" (Ordered by FL or when you fly single-ship) the steps in "Engine startup" are preferably carried out simultaneously as the "System Startup". Eg start left engine then go throug the steps in system startup. When left engine is running, start right engine and continue with system startup. |
| − | *CAS Pilot (Fixed Wing)
| |
| − | *CAS Pilot (Rotary Wing)
| |
| − | *JTAC
| |
| | | | |
| − | Passing the qualification allows you to carry out medium-high level CAS missions during daytime in the role that you qualified in.

| − | ====Advanced Qualification CAS==== | + | ==AH-64D== |
| − | AQ CAS focus on single procedures to expand the pilot's ability to perform CAS in all conditions. Prerequisites is BQ CAS in the same role/aircraft (e.g If you are a BQ CAS qualified pilot in a F-16 then you can only move on to Low-level procedures in a F-16. Same goes if you are a BQ CAS qualified JTAC you can only move on to Low-level procedures as a JTAC). Proceduers to be qualified in are:
| + | Steps 1-7 in "Startup Procedure" are carried out jointly between the Pilot and CPG (and within the whole flight if not flying single-ship). |
| − | * Low-level
| + | "System Startup" can mostly be performed in any order as mentioned above. |
| − | * Night
| |
| − | * Killbox

| |
| − | *Read the Tactical guide for Close air support (take notes of things that are unclear) -> Link
| |
| − | *Ask for help in our CAS channel in Discord to get the answer to your questions above.
| |
| − | *Ping @JTACs and ask anyone to occupy a JTAC slot and help you practice and work your way through the various parts of the CAS-syllabus (Fixed-wing section).
| |

| − | ====How to qualify====
| + | <gallery> |
| − | *Carefully go through the CAS-syllabus Fixed-wing section (WIP) and ask yourself for every item "Do I know how to do this thing?” This is the most crucial step, and we trust you to be fair to yourself. Be disciplined, but don't be overly self-critical.
| + | File:AH-64D STARTUP 1.png|''Startup Procedure'' |
| − | *You are expected to have all your technical stuff working (SRS and such), show up on CP as briefed and be able to follow instructions given by JTAC.

| − | *The instructor prepares a short sortie, called a CAS Qual checkride. Here you will fly a simple CAS-mission and engage 2-4 targets.
| |
| − | *If you did okay, you will qualify and your instructor will let us know on Discord.
| |
| − | *If you did not pass (meaning something went really bad, like you clearly didn't know how to employ a weapon), you are free to try again, as many times as you like, as long as you take responsibility for reading up on the stuff that didn't go so well.
