Training Tuesday – Overhead Breaks

Everyone’s welcome to this training!

Training Mission: CA

Planned Training:

1. All fixed wing – OVERHEAD BREAK TRAINING

A) The event will start with a short general briefing with screensharing, where we talk about the most common mistakes and so on.
B) Then we’ll split into separate voice channels for the different aircraft types, and discuss the technique that is specific for that type.
C) Then we jump into the jets and practice.

• You may fly as a 2-, 3- or 4-ship.
• Take off, turn north, complete a 180 turn and join up on the reciprocal rwy heading.
• Turn in towards the rwy when there is an adequat slot (or if ATC is available, when they tell you to turn).
• Perform a nice OHB.
• Touch’n’go
• An instructor may or may not come into your TS channel to provide some feedback.
• Repeat!

General parameters:

• #1 should ideally break as soon as they reach the start of the runway, not later.
• Side distance from runway on the downwind: 1.5-2.0 nm (typically 1.5 is enough, unless heavy aircraft or there is challenging wing).
• If lead ends up wide or narrow, follow them and match their pattern (different mindset compared to boat ops).

2. AH-64D
– TBU

3. AWACS/ATC
– Support OHB exercise
