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.

==Intro Flight==
+
==Qualifications==
 +
====Basic Qualification CAS====
 +
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:
 +
*CAS Pilot (Fixed Wing)
 +
*CAS Pilot (Rotary Wing)
 +
*JTAC

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. However, during this flight, the following topics are briefly covered.
+
Passing the qualification allows you to carry out medium-high level CAS missions during daytime in the role that you qualified in.
  
−
* Cold start
+
====Advanced Qualification CAS====
−
* Changing radio presets
+
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:
−
* Checking in
+
* Low-level
−
* Joker/Bingo Settings
+
* Night
−
* Dumb Bomb Configuration
+
* Killbox
−
* Formation Takeoff (2-ship)
 
−

* Raygun / Buddyspike procedures
 
−
* Basic Radar Usage and Fox 3 Launch
 
−
* "Fox" and "Splash" Calls
 
−

===Starting Up===
+
====How to qualify====
 +
*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.

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.

Qualifications

Basic Qualification CAS

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:

  • 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

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:

  • Low-level
  • Night
  • Killbox

CAS Pilot (Fixed Wing)

How to train

  • 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

  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Ask somebody to act as your examinating instructor. It can be anyone who has completed the JTAC qualification.
  • 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.
