FM LVL 1 parameters:
#1-
#2- |
|
Definition
-#1 70-85% torque, 180-220 KIAS, 45-60* AOB, up to 2 Gs, +/- 10* pitch.
-#2 lead, lag and pure pursuit to fly from 3-4 AA and 1,500' range to the goal position. #2 will need to modulate power and G while using three-dimensional maneuvering to solve closure and angle problems |
|
|
Term
FM LVL 2 parameters:
#1-
#2- |
|
Definition
-#1 1 85-Max% torque, 150-250 KIAS, up to 120* AOB, 2-4 Gs. Maneuver in the vertical to allow airspeed to vary between 150-250 knots while limiting pitch changes to ± 30 degrees from the horizon
-#2 |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| At 1500’, #2 will pull lead to create increasing aspect and closure. At approximately 7 Aspect, #2 executes a high yo-yo maneuver (lags) towards Lead’s high 6 to prevent a 3-9 line bust and remain outside 300’. #2 then uses lead, lag, and pure pursuit in 3 dimensions to attain the goal position. Once in the goal position, #2 modulates power to remain in position and calls terminate. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| When #2 calls 1500, Lead will make a slightly descending 4G turn to pull #2 towards the 3-9 line without exceeding the 3-9 line. When #2 maneuvers out-of-plane to solve the aspect & closure problem, #1 will begin varying his plane of motion |
