+
The following sections describe Tactics, Techniques and Procedures (TTP) that are valid only for A-10C.
 +
<pre style="color: red">Some Tactics and Techniques have reference to the manual "DCS A-10C II Flight Manual EN", this manual can be found in the DCS installation folder "DCS World OpenBeta\Mods\aircraft\A-10C_2\Doc"</pre>
  
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.
+
==Considerations==
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=
+
The A-10Cs provide the ability to maneuver and reposition firepower in response to changing situations. They carry a wide variety of forward firing munitions, are equipped with advanced sensors, have excellent loiter times and have an excellent capability to conduct CAS in diverse terrain and when accompanying other transport or rescue assets.
  
==Basic Section==
+
Consider combining FW (A-10C) and RW (AH-64D) platform capabilities in an urban environment. FW can often target/designate within urban areas more easily due to the ability to loiter high above many threat envelopes. Once the FW aircraft has identified and confirmed the target it can designate the target with a LASER to guide precise, low-yield PGMs fired from a RW attack asset holding in a relatively safe BP.

====Landing====
+
* Echelon (left/right):
  
* Landing (~500-700 feet/minute, no flare)

The following sections describe Tactics, Techniques and Procedures (TTP) that are valid only for A-10C.

Some Tactics and Techniques have reference to the manual "DCS A-10C II Flight Manual EN", this manual can be found in the DCS installation folder "DCS World OpenBeta\Mods\aircraft\A-10C_2\Doc"

Considerations

The A-10Cs provide the ability to maneuver and reposition firepower in response to changing situations. They carry a wide variety of forward firing munitions, are equipped with advanced sensors, have excellent loiter times and have an excellent capability to conduct CAS in diverse terrain and when accompanying other transport or rescue assets.

Consider combining FW (A-10C) and RW (AH-64D) platform capabilities in an urban environment. FW can often target/designate within urban areas more easily due to the ability to loiter high above many threat envelopes. Once the FW aircraft has identified and confirmed the target it can designate the target with a LASER to guide precise, low-yield PGMs fired from a RW attack asset holding in a relatively safe BP.
