Prerequisites: None

Information
Vind: 066/9
Startfält: Farnborough
Bana i användning: 240
Genomförande
Starta upp och taxa när redo. Stig till 3000 fot och flyg sydväst ca 8 nm till fältet Odiham som är vår övningsplats för första delen. Börja med övningarna:
Övning 1 går ut på att få en känsla för vid vilken fart som en stall inträffar i ditt plan och består av tre moment. Oavsett moment så går det snarlikt till. För att framtvinga en stall så behåller du höjden samtidigt som du drar av gasen till tomgång. När farten minskar kommer du behöva dra tillbaka stickan mer och mer för att behålla höjden – och snart har du en stall. När stallen inträffar så trycker du ner nosen och ökar på gasen ( och fäller in klaff/ställ om ute) för att åter få upp farten och sen stiger du tillbaka till 3000 fot.
A) Stall i ren konfiguration (Inga flaps och landningsstället infällt) & planflykt (rakt fram).
B) Stall i ren konfiguration & i en 45 graders sväng
C) Stall i landningskonfiguration (Ställ nere och flaps där du har dem för landning) & planflykt
Gör varje moment en eller två gånger och kom ihåg / skriv ner farterna för varje scenario. Notera skillnaden i fart mellan de olika scenariona. Du vet nu hur långsamt du kan flyga ditt plan vid landning utan att katastrofen inträffar. Varför är det här viktigt? Jo, för att om du har för hög fart på finalen så kommer du behöva en väldigt lång bana för att få ner farten för landning, och en lyx som långa banor har vi inte alltid.
Övning 2 går ut på att kontrollera planet i den kritiska sista fasen innan landningen, finalen. Som pilot är ditt problem att sjunka ner till en viss höjd vid en given punkt – ~30 fot ovanför marken vid tröskeln till banan – samtidigt som du vid tröskeln har en fart som är ~10-15 mph över din stallfart. Om du ligger ovanför glidbanan så kanske du inte hinner sjunka ner i tid utan att din fart blir så hög att du inte kommer hinna landa.
Välj ut en punkt på marken en lämplig bit bort – en skorsten, lada eller något annat som du ser enkelt. Låtsas sen som att det är tröskeln till en landningsbana och påbörja en rak final mot det objektet med flaps och ställ nerfällda. Försök att hålla en fart som är ca 10-15 mph över stallfarten i landningskonfiguration som du identifierade i övning 1. Försök ligga på glidbanan samtidigt som du inte låter farten bli för hög eller för låg.
Om farten börjar öka så höjer du nosen en aning, och om farten minskar så trycker du ner nosen
Om du ligger under glidbanan så ger du lite mer gas, och om du ligger över glidbanan så drar du tillbaka lite på throtteln
Fortsätt finalen tills 500 fot, avbryt, stig upp till 2000 fot och försök igen. Gör detta 2-3 gånger.
Avslutningsvis prövar vi på detta kring Farnborough. Bana 24 är i användning och det är vänster trafikvarv som gäller. Anslut till trafikvarvet och gör ett par studs-och-gå. Gå rakt upp i varvet igen efteråt. Försök klara av 5 studs-och-gå innan sista landningen.

Operation Phantom Ramp
2024-09-01 20:00 - 22:00 | Normandy
Mission Name: Operation Phantom Ramp
Date: March 1944
Location: French Coast, near a town currently under American bombardment
Mission Brief:
Intelligence reports have recently indicated the construction of peculiar ramp-like structures along the French coastline, suspected to be of German origin. The nature and purpose of these ramps remain unclear, but it is believed they may be part of a new weapon system that could pose a significant threat to our impending invasion efforts.
In response, a joint task force comprising elements of the Royal Air Force and the United States Army Air Forces is to be dispatched on a reconnaissance mission to gather vital photographic evidence. The operation will be conducted under the cover of a large-scale American bombing raid on a nearby French town, designed to divert the enemy’s attention and provide our forces with the necessary window of opportunity.
Primary Objectives:
Photograph the Ramp Structures: Reconnaissance aircraft are to overfly the designated target areas and capture high-quality photographic images of the mysterious ramp installations.
Avoid Enemy Fighters: The Luftwaffe is expected to respond to the bombing raid. Ensure that your aircraft are not intercepted or shot down during the mission.
Return to Base: Upon completion of the reconnaissance, all aircraft are to return to base and deliver the gathered intelligence for analysis.
Secondary Objectives:
Escort and Protect Bombers: Should the situation permit, assist in the protection of the American bombers from enemy fighter aircraft.
Reconnoitre Additional Sites: If feasible, conduct reconnaissance of any other sites of interest that may prove valuable to forthcoming Allied operations.
Enemy Forces:
Anti-Aircraft Defences: Expect heavy and medium anti-aircraft fire around the target areas.
Fighter Patrols: Enemy fighter aircraft, including Focke-Wulf 190s and Messerschmitt Bf 109s, are known to be patrolling the vicinity.
Ground Forces: Be aware of potential mobile flak units and ground troops that may hinder your mission.
Allied Forces:
De Havilland Mosquito: Equipped with cameras for reconnaissance and light armament for self-defence.
Supermarine Spitfire: Tasked with escorting and protecting the Mosquito aircraft from enemy fighters.
North American P-51 Mustang: American fighter aircraft will support the Spitfires in providing cover for both the Mosquito reconnaissance planes and the American bombers.
Weather Conditions:
Visibility is moderate, with cloud cover at 10,000 feet.
Light southwesterly winds.
Time of day: Early morning.

Sovjet har som en del av Lend-Lease-paketet fått tillgång till ett antal Mosquito-plan. Nyligen tagna i tjänst och baserade på norra Kola-halvön används planen för att anfalla tyska flyg- och flottbaser i ockuperade nordkalotten.
Dagens uppdrag är att anfalla en Tysk flottbas vid Alta, väster om Lakselv. Basen huserar en grupp torpedbåtar som utför nattliga anfall mot hjälpkonvojerna till Murmansk. Det är av högsta vikt att båtarna sätts ur spel. Flottbasen är nyligen uppsatt och luftvärn bedöms vara bristfälligt. Tyngre luftvärn finns vid flygfält och större städer och dessa bör därmed undvikas.
Mosquito-planen är baserade på ett tillfälligt flygfält väster om Murmansk, utanför den lilla byn Kilp’Yavr (N69°05’23” E32° 25′ 35″). Flygningen till och från målet bör ske snabbt och på låg höjd för att minimera risken för fientlig jakt.

Situation:
Allied intelligeence informs us that the enemy have launched a large raid towards friendly fleet units from Tinian and Saipan. We continue to use this opportunity to get in a low level bomb raid with light bombers (A20). The target is located in the north part of Tinian. However, there are some enemy CAP units up, and their attack flights are starting to return from the northwest, so the bombers need escort. Take off heading west from Rota and join up with the bombers at 15,000 feet in grid NC.

Background:
The war in Europe is coming to an end. East of Frankfurt at the USAF station Gelnhausen, the pilots are mainly providing ground support to push the Germans into a surrender.
Situation:
The enemy has destroyed most bridges in their retreat, and to ease our advance, the army is trying to save one of the last bridges. It’s located 26nm southeast of Gelnhausen. Even though the Luftwaffe is weak, they might still show up to ruin our plans. Defend the bridge.

Time and weather:

* Nice weather, light winds.
* Rwy 27 active.

Note: Gelnhausen is a temporary field; it’s short, and there are obstacles during climb out in both directions.
Restrictions:

– P-51D, tested to a takeoff weight of 10,000 lbs (4500 kg) with margin, exceed at own risk.
