    I feel like I'm sitting in an RAF training room. Learned so much by watching the GR.

    Very good! One thing I have found very usefull is to make a table or a curve to show desired landing speed for a given load. Load meaning both fuel and weapons. Depending on the aircraft, there may be as much as 50 knots difference between a nearly empty plane and a fully loaded. In the end that table/curve/diagram should be in the head of the driver - at least for the most normal scenarios eg. all weapons - low fuel - no weapons - low fuel - no weapons - 50% fuel.And then also look at your AOA indicator (in the planes that have it).

      Roger that's a very good point. Luckily because it's just a "game", we have the luxury of dumping stores to make our landings all unloaded. But we should learn to do it properly.

    This is very informative indeed. I was watching the Hawks of 100sqn landing the other day and now I think I understand the different joining and landing approaches they do. I'll watch them more attentively from now on.

    should crosswind turn start at 45 degree to runway as with civilian training same as turn to downwind and base nice vid

    In the West, civilian patterns are LH, and military ones are RH, excepting for residential areas and obstacles. Do the GRs do LH just arbitrarily? The briefing docs usually say RH.

      Good call, I had no idea. I'll put that to the guys and see what they say.

    Really great video - I'm really considering getting into DCS when I get my rig up to snuff.

    Cool, I am now in the process of setting my computer up and installing dcs world, keep up the awesome videos training or combat,
    It’s all good.

    Brilliant ... good catch Matt. Well done ... ^v^

    Out of curiosity, what was the reference you based this pattern design on? It doesn't look like any overhead pattern I'm familiar with. Also, minor critique, that overhead join (really a descending 'break turn') is just asking for a midair collision on your downwind. I would recommend rolling up initial at pattern altitude and putting a restriction of 500' AGL on climbout until the departure end of the runway. It allows for better clearing of downwind up initial, and provides the deconfliction you are trying to get anyway.

      Copy Matt looks like we have made a mistake in the vid, we will correct it soon.

    Height, heading, speed AND spacing - wingtip should touch the runway when looking out on downwind. 320 knots might be a bit fast for downwind - you want to be at a speed that lets you drop rhe gear three quarters downwind.

    what about helicopters? They are much slower and I often feel like taking a huge risk when trying to get over the runway to the other side for example. Would love to learn a good way to manouver so it would be safe for everyone.

    So if we’re flying the A10C we just pin the throttles and leave them lol

    why is it just in 360p?

      It's likely he only just uploaded the video, so it's still rendering. Come back in a little while and it should be higher quality

    • @grimreapers
      @grimreapers  7 лет назад

      hmmm shows 1080p for me?

    • @AMDeZani
      @AMDeZani 7 лет назад

      Grim Reapers It’s showing all the quality options now but only had 360p when he commented

    Bloodnok want's to be Cap instead of Cap :D

      Negative, Cap does the sexy flying, Blood does the boring flying.
