Carrier Quals
February 11 @ 19:30 - 22:00
Planned Training: Carrier Qualifications for F/A-18C and F-14A/B
Weather: Clear, calm winds
- Drop-in from 19.30, if it’s crowded (more than 6 active aircraft) come back later
- Zip-lip, the LSO owns #1 and expects BALL CALLS ONLY
- Air or catapult start (Cat 1 & 2 only). Unlimited attempts.
- After take-off, bolter or wave-off, turn RIGHT and stay below 400 ft.
- When you find a slot, re-establish yourself in the pattern, line up behind the carrier @800′ and 350 kts, ready for another break.
- To earn your Carrier Qualification you need 2/3 valid passes with a 40+ score.
- Sierra Hotel Breaks may be requested but respect the fact that the pattern might be full. We don’t want to spill our coffee.
- Before or after your CQ, feel free to fly any training sortie but stay away from the Carrier Control Zone (50 nm)
