| Flight Report: | 1)Guppy and Sparky flyin' today 2) not really a combat flight so there were no threats nor targets 3)all told about 2.5 flight hours 4)Procedures Practice: Did an cold-engine startup, practiced Nav using waypoints with time critical points. Also used outside references to locate airfields greater than sight distance. ====== I would like to point out several small factors: 1)We really need to instill a fear of low fuel landings, Guppy somehow burned 13k more then I even though we were flying almost the same Alt and Speed. we also need to work on landings; both Short field and normal operations. 2)We need to setup some protocol about radio commands, such as the definition of Weapons Cold, Fights on/off I've found that even after giving weapons cold, master OFF I still see tracers whizzing past my canopy! |
