The goal should be to fly the AH-64D as a crew (Pilot/CPG) to reach its full potential. However, In order to train effectively on your own, you as a pilot/CPG you must be able to use George.
+
==Basic System==
Therefore you should be able to complete everything described in the Pilot/CPG "Basic Section" below with George. During Qualification your examiner will fly with you as Pilot/CPG.

Home >> Aircraft Syllabi >> A-10C Warthog Syllabus

Basic Section

The Basic Syllabus gives an overall picture of what is expected to be accomplished by our A-10C 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.

If not specified in the Syllabus all procedures are to be followed as described in the A-10C II 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. Good luck and have fun!

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

Basic System

Genereal

HOTAS

The A-10C is a well thought out aircraft where you can manage almost everything through HOTAS commands, at the beginning you should focus on learning some basic ones and make sure you have them bound to your throttle and stick.

  • Set SOI (Coolie switch on throttle)
  • Mark (TMS on stick)
  • Hook (TMS on stick)
  • Set/reset SPI (TMS on stick)
  • Slew sensors to SPI/STEER PT (China Hat on throttle)

Radio/SRS

  • Power ON/OFF and use MNL/PRESET MODE for:
- Radio 1 VHF AM inc. SRS
- Radio 2 UHF inc. SRS
- Radio 3 VHF inc. SRS (optional)
- Basic Comms as part of a flight (not as lead)
  • ATIS Information

Basic Flying

Start-up

  • As described in A-10C TTP

Takeoff

  • Configure aircraft for takeoff
  • Standard procedure
  1. Takeoff
    • Hold down brakes
    • Throttle to 90% RPM
    • Lead calls “Rolling”, releases brakes and set throttle to MAX. 2nd, 3rd and 4th AC follow with 10 sec interval
    • Disengage NWS at 50-70kts
    • Pull back stick for 10° Pitch angle at ≈125kts (10kts before rotation speed)
  2. Climb out
    • Climb to specified altitude and as lead maintain ≈200kts at max 80% RPM in the climb until flight has joined up.

Landing

  1. Initial approach
    • 1500ft above runway
    • 250kts (not 300 as shown in linked procedure above)
  2. Break left/right at runway threshold
    • Keep throttle position
    • 50° Bank
    • Pull 1.5G
    • Maintain Altitude
  3. Downwind leg
    • Reduce speed to 200kts
    • Maintain Altitude
  4. Base leg
    • Turn base when threshold aligned with wingtip (≈45° behind aircraft)
    • Throttle to IDLE
    • Start descend 1000 ft/min
    • 20° Bank
    • 1-1.5G
    • Extend speedbrakes 40%
    • Gear down <200kts
    • Flaps down <190kts
    • Reach and keep on-speed AoA
  5. Final
    • Aim TVV at TZM at -3° on Pitch ladder
  6. Touchdown
    • Throttle to IDLE
    • Extend airbrakes to 100%
