Training Tuesday
2023-03-07 19:30 - 22:30 (Europe/Stockholm) | Caucasus
Everyone’s welcome to this training!
Planned Training:
1. Hornet (Vipers welcome as well)
Hornet AAR and Combat Communication Training
Host: Bankler
Purpose
* Improve section lead tanker intercept skills.
* Improve pilot aerial refueling skills (procedure, formation, comms menu fiddling).
* Improve pilot skills sharing ground target positions.
Goals
* All pilots should have performed 3 x top offs at the tanker.
* All pilots have performed 2 x bomb drops on coordinates provided by FAC-A (Forward Air Control – Airborne) pilot.
* All pilots done in 2 hours.
Performance metrics
* Keep comms clear, to-the-point and relatively quick. Good readback.
* Attack ASAP from the provided FAH (Final Attack Heading).
* Avoid downtime. After attack, rejoin tanker asap. After AAR, check in with FAC-A asap.
Loadout
* 1 x centerline tank. Appropriate ordnance for two attack runs on soft targets (trucks or similar). FL decides. Suggestions/ideas:
A) 2 x GBU-12
B) 2 x GBU-38
C) 1 x GBU-12 + 1 x GBU-38
D) 4 x Mk-20
E) 4 x Mk-82
Remarks
* This is FAC-A assisted AI (Air Interdiction). Not Close Air Support. No 9-lines. You will get a coordinate and then drop on it.
* The tactical efficiency is not in the spotlight today. The communications and rapidness of execution is what we’re practicing.
Execution
A)
* Zodiak5 will fly to and anchors above Sochi (WP4), and look for targets.
B)
* Attack flights will rejoin with Arco5 (cg 12) and take 1000-2000 lbs per aircraft. Arco is on station 60 nm E of Sochi AO (WP4).
* When a flight is done, it checks in with Zodiak5 on 31.00 and states “ready for tasking”.
* Zodiak5 will provide the flight with a coordinate (lat long or MGRS), FAH (final attack heading) and target type.
* ALL flight members should write this position down.
* The FLIGHT LEAD does the readback.
* Zodiak5 confirms and gives attack clearance.
* All flight members attack the position in with minimal intervals.
C)
* Back to the tanker and repeat everything up to this point one more time.
D)
* Perform a final top off, up to 7000 lbs (if you have more already, just take a minimal amount, like 500 lbs).
E)
* RTB to Kutaisi

Training Tuesday - Ramat David
2023-03-14 19:30 | Syria
Everyone’s welcome to this training! Note, this event will be running in the SYRIA theatre.
Planned Training:
1. F/A-18C
CAP and Bullseye Training – Host: Bankler
Motivation:
* It can be hard to visualize where a certain bullseye position is. It’s not used THAT often making it even harder. Hence, it can be easy to miss something relevant in a picture call. That’s why we need to practice our bullseye game.
* Datalink can fail and enemies can be out of reach for AWACS radar. So it’s important to practice radar usage, with datalink turned off.
Goals:
* Each 2-ship should communicate at least 4 bullseye positions (own, other aircraft etc), and should receive at least 4 bullseye positions and react to them.
Execution:
* Pilots organize into 2-ships.
* Depart north, and check in on ch 9 from where you will be directed to CAP A (ch 5) or CAP B (ch 10).
* Turn DATALINK and TACAN off.
* You will every now and then receive instructions from AWACS. BRAA calls might sometimes be used, but be advised that (for training purposes) you will often get bullseye instructions, even for things that would typically be communicated in BRAA. Examples can be: “Orbit at Bulls xxx/yy”, “Intercept bogey at Bulls xxx/yy”.
* After getting a call, you are supposed to act by making sense of where that is, and turn your nose in that direction ASAP.
* As a pilot, if there is room on the channel, you are free to push the AWACS controllers a little by sending declare requests or similar, for instance “Stingray, Adder11, declare Bulls xxx/yy” in order to keep THEM on their toes as well.
* Start RTB at 21:45 at the latest, IRL time.
Evaluation:
* Being able to understand where (in relation to yourself) a bulls call is pointing is what we practice. So the fast you are able to react and turn your nose in that general direction, the better.
2. AH-64D
Basic crew training
3. A-10C
Basic procedures
4. Basic qualification training – host WeX
Module: F14A/B but others are welcome to fly along.
Learning objectives:
Prepare for a BQ-flight by going through the steps and getting a feel for what’s expected of the pilot being examined.
We will review procedures, coms, examples of technical questions, basic A2A combat, A2G profiles and aerial refueling. We will start and land at Kutaisi.

2. At codeword FIRESTARTER from mission commander flights ARTIC and BENDER attack their primary targets (SA8s) and secondary targets (SA11 site. Intel reveals that hitting the “Snow Drift SR” will disable the site).
3. INDY attack their primary (SA8s) and if able their secondary targets.
Report HOMERUN for WOLFPACK and PAVEWAY for COYOTES to signal that primary area is “safe” (from SA8s) for RAGE and HAWG to advance. Report FREEPLAY for WOLFPACK to signal to RAGE that the secondary SA site i disabled making the all area around Qeshm Island Airfield safe from SAM threats. Report ROADRUNNER for COYOTES to signal that the secondary SA8s at Abu Musa Island are disabled.
4. With enemy SA8 destroyed RAGE and HAWG move in to clear primary enemy airfields (Qeshm Island and Tunb Island).
5. With enemy air defences at Qeshm Island and north of Qeshm Island destroyed ELVIS and QUEBEC strikes Electric Supply. Report LABYRINTH after completed strike.
6. All flights CAP the airspace surrounding primary enemy airfields (Qeshm Island and Tunb Island) to defend RAGE and HAWG at all cost.

Background:
In a fictional campaign during WW2 allied forces have recently established a small base on Guam. A detachment of RAF and USAF fighters are tasked with supporting offensive operations towards Rota island in the north. US and Japanese naval forces are maneuvering around the Mariana islands and a major naval engagement is expected soon.
Situation:
Allied intelligence has informed us that the enemy is planning to resupply the airbase at Tinian with new I-16 Donkeys via a ferry flight from an auxilliary carrier positioned to the west. They will be low on fuel and the are probably piloted by inexperienced pilots, our plan is to ambush them just west of Tinian.

1 SITUATION
1.1 Overview
After a series of border provocations intel has confirmed that Syria will launch an invasion of Jordan in order to capture the Mafraq oil fields within the next 48 hours. The US and Israel has decided to intervene in order to assist Jordan, and a strategy of pre-emptive strikes in order to blunt the coming offensive has been chosen in order to give Jordanian army breathing room to reinforce. Several areas where the Syrian army is expected to be massing armored and mechanized units have been identified. Jordanian infiltration teams are working in the AO and further intel on staging areas may come in during the mission.
1.2 Area of operations

Typ: Spit, P-47, P-51.
Krav: Syrien, WWII Assets Pack.
The North African campaign is coming to an end. The enemy is now only occupying northern Tunisia. Still, we must not let them grab hold. During yesterday’s offensive, our ground forces managed to push the hun up, over, and into the valley running from Kirikhan to Nurdagi. Now we want to limit their ability to resupply and therefore drive them further back.
Spitfire pilots, get ready for some rhubarb action low in the southern part of the valley. Targets may be, transport convoys, logistics outposts, and defensive positions. Weapons are completely free in the valley, but remember our troops in the hills to the west. So keep clear of them.
Gomer flight, your primary target is an improvised logistics/railroad station located somewhere along the railroad running north. If ammunition is left after a potential attack you may join the Spitfires in the search for targets of opportunity, if that is the case search north along the railroad, it is known to be used on the daily.
Stangs are tasked with air patrol NW of the valley, along the mountains. We believe the hun might try to fend off our offensive using airpower as their army is struggling.

1 SITUATION
1.1 Overview
The US is hosting the multinational exercise “Operation Stalwart Guardian” on the island of Guam. The scenario is that an hostile force has landed on and fortified Cocos Island and is preparing to use it as a base for further attacks on Guam itself. The composition of the enemy forces on Cocos island is uknown, but artillery and Anti-ship missiles have been confirmed. Air defences are presumed.
It is not known if the opposing forces have begun landings on southern Guam, but if they have it is presumed that their lines of advance will be along the two coastal roads, along the islands western and eastern shores due to the impassability of the island’s interior jungle.
The blue forces are tasked with clearing Cocos island of hostiles and have been dividied into two packages:
Yankee – CAP, tasked with establishing and maintaining air superiority over the AO
ARCTIC, CRIMSON, INDY
Quebec – Strike, tasked with clearing the island and any hostile forces that has made it on to Guam
RAGE, HAWG, DUSTY, BENDER, FENRIS
Information about the enemies position, composition and numbers is highly limited. Target reconnaissance will be required and attack plans will have to be thought up on the spot.
A package lead will be assigned for each package. Each package lead is responsible for planning their part but involving all package flights is highly recommended. Cluster-type bombs are prohibited, else there is no limitation on weapons / sensors, and each flight lead / package lead choose the loadout to fit their planning.
Package QUEBEC will have a JTAC assigned to assist with battlespace planning & FAC.
All blue forces operate out of Andersen AFB.
1.2 Area of operations
The southernmost part of Guam Island. The terrain is mostly flat jungle with occasional rolling hills.

3 EXECUTION
3.1 Commander’s intent
Destroy all air defences, artillery pieces, missile launchers and surface vessels. Destroy as many smaller targets as possible.
3.2 Packages
See 1.1 – Overview
3.3 Order of events
BLUFOR will start the mission with limited knowledge of the opposing forces – their general location is the only fact known for sure. Package Lead Yankee will have to use the resources available to locate and destroy the enemy. The first priority will be to establish safe air corridors for the route to Cocos island – smaller groups of hostiles may already have made it across while also neutralising any SAMs present on Cocos island. ¨
Once Southern Guam has been secured, operations on Cocos island may commence safely.
Simultaneously, Quebec Package will be preventing opposing fixed wing assets from interfering. Package lead Quebec has the final decision on how to run their CAP mission, but synchronising with AWACS beforehand is mandatory.

1 SITUATION
1.1 Overview
Syria has threatened to conduct SCUD attacks with chemical weapons against civilian towns. NATO has decided to conduct a preemptive strike against SCUD locations and chemical weapons facilities.
1.2 Area of operations
W and NW of DAMASCUS (SYRIA) in MGRS zones YC-YB and BT-BS. The ground is mostly flat desert.
1.3 Time and weather
* July 07 – 2022
* 08:00 local time
* Scattered (7500′-11500′)
* Wind 320 / 10
* FORCE QNH 2992 / 1013
1.4 Air threats
MiG-21, MiG-25, MiG-29
MiG-21s, MiG-25s and occasional MIG-29s have been reported. Expect main threat from closest enemy air bases, located SE and N of DAMASCUS. Intel estimates that the Syrian Air Force will have routine CAP over target area and can launch 4-8 fighters in short succession from bases close to DAMASCUS. Additional fighters can reinforce from other bases after a timespan of 30 mins from first engagements.
1.5 Ground threats
BMP-2, ZSU-23 Shilka, MANPADS, SA-13, SA-6, SA-10
SCUD launchers escorted by BMP-2 platoons, protected by Shilkas, MANPADS and SA-13s. SCUD units are reported to be static in marked target areas but as they are mobile they can quickly redeploy and possible course of action is that once SCUD locations are engaged they will start to relocate.
The Chemical plant is protected by one SA-6, ZU-23s and MANPADS.
SA-10 located 100 nm E of DAMASCUS with coverage reaching to SAYQAL.
1.6 Friendly forces
N/A, we are the only blue forces in the AO.
1.7 Civilian/3rd part
Civilian air traffic is still active in some parts of eastern Syria.
2 MISSION
The Joint Force Air Component (JFAC) will conduct air strikes to destroy SCUD locations and chemical plant facilities in order to deny Syrian forces SCUD capability with chemical weapons. A mission success would reduce Syria’s means of threatening its own population as well as neighboring countries.
3 EXECUTION
3.1 Commander’s intent
Destroy all SCUD launchers and the two chemical plants located in the AO.
3.2 Packages
The mission contains 1 package, callsign WOLFPACK. All flights are part of package WOLFPACK.

3.3 Order of events
This operation is divided into four phases which will be conducted chronologically: Destruction of enemy CAP, SEAD, strikes on SCUD and chemical plant, RTB.

1.1 Overview
We have been invaded!
German forces have gained a foothold in Kent in the south-east part of the British mainland. Manston airfield has been overrun and is now operated by the Luftwaffe.
Canterbury is being brutally bombed and the Germans are advancing west with the intent to capture the town.
Trapped at the trainyard in Canterbury is a train with four fuel tanks. Fuel which is crucial for the continous operation of the allied airforce.
A group of JU88 bombers have been spotted 50 miles east north-east of Canterbury. Their goal is most certainly to bomb the trapped train. This threat must be neutralized at all costs.
Scouts have spotted an Artillery installment in Wingham to the East of Canterbury. Canterbury is being barraged with artillery, something that must come to an end.
German fighters on combat air patrols can be expected throughout the area. BF109 and FW190 stationed at Manston have been seen roaming the countryside.
Allied air operations are carried out from Detling (Spits and Mossies) and High Halden (P51 and P47). Pick a loadout of your choice and good hunting!

Battle of Goudi bridge
2023-04-12 19:30 - 21:00 | Syria
Briefing – Battle of Goudi bridge
Red forces are advancing south from the town of Polis towards the bridge just south of the town Goudi (North Bridge) . Blue objective is to stop the enemy advance and prevent them from crossing the north bridge (study kneeboard maps) . It is likely the defense will fail due to superior enemy numbers including MBT´s. Blue forces have only light armored vehicles and a single Bradley with ATGM at disposal. Should the enemy cross the bridge next objective is to defend the south bridge located 450m from the North bridge. The terrain will force the enemy vehicles to advance slowly on the road in this area
We have limited recon available. A company of T72 and IFV´s heading south have been observed on the road near the town of Polis along with mobile heavy artillery and AA units. A SA 8 vehicle has also been observed. We have no SEAD strike groups available. The hilly terain will provide cover for low flying aircraft, however it is recommended to seek and destroy the SA 8 to enable freedom of movement on the battlefield. Forward deployed JTAC may be helpful to located the SAM threat.
Reinforcements are on the way on the MSR from the south, the force is limited in numbers and AH 64 flights need to decimate the enemy to ensure victory. ETA of reinforcements is approximately one hour.
A field hospital/FARP has been set up 6km to the south of bullseye (Northern bridge) in the town of Yioloy. Nitro 5 and Yoda 7 is tasked with medivac, expect heavy casualties, and synchronize with Rage 9 for fire support (Ah 64 flight). Rage 9 is likely to be busy attacking enemy armor so expect limited support. Field hospital /FARP has an active ADF beacon to assist in navigation on 420 khz.
A SEAL team may be deployed to destroy south bridge nr 2 located a further 1000m south. This is a last resort decision if the enemy does not seem to be stoppable. Huey flights Nitro 5 and Yoda 7 will be available to transport the SEAL team in this event. The SEAL team will only be available after the enemy has taken control of the North bridge and will be deployed at the feildhospital/FARP for helicopter embarkment.
Update* Airborne ranger team is on standby near the fieldhosptital/FARP. They are located 100m west of the field hospital tents and LZ is on the road next to them to not overcrowd the field hospital limited LZ. They will seek and destroy enemy infantry and should be deployed only on flight commands order. They have no anti armor capability so should only be deployed against enemy infantry.
Update* A JTAC group is located at field hospital/FARP. Huey should pick them up and disembark according to knee board map. Disembark just south of the hill, in cover from enemy fire. A helicopter has crashed in the area and is on fire, use this as landmark. The JTAC will move by foot to a position on top of the hill and try to locate and lase AA units and SAM. JTAC has a laser range of around 5km, wait for condition 2. If not in laser range just contact again later, when in range they will lase. Communicate with JTAC via radio menu. JTAC is on FM 30 MHZ.
Mission goals

Primary objective – Prevent red forces from crossing the northern bridge, locate and destroy enemy artillery and air defenses. Huey flights to deploy JTAC group at frontline and run medivac.
Secondary objective – In the case the enemy gains control of the bridges stall the advance until our reinforcements have arrived. In last resort blow up south bridge nr2 using the SEAL team to prevent further enemy advancement.

Additional information
Kneeboards will be included in mission.
Available aircraft

Guide to CSAR missions.
Use the radio menu and chose f10 other then CSAR mission and list active missions. When you get close they will pop smoke and they will be located near the front line. If you hover above the injured winching will start, takes 20 seconds. You can also land nearby and they will automatically be picked up. Return the injured to the field hospital, if you are to slow he may bleed out, check status on injured in CSAR menu.
In the event of a blue player ejecting you may see a CSAR mission to pick up the pilot if he survived, prioritise this before any other injured. The ADF beacons does not seem to work (please try though) so you will have to work on distance and course to find

Irbid insurgency
2023-04-20 19:30 - 22:00 | Syria
A western coalition is in place in Israel, and a carrier group is stationed at sea. In the city of Irbid in Jordania a violent insurrection is in progress, creating a confusing situation with several fighting factions. Our intel suggest even parts of the Jordanian military forces might be involved on opposing sides. Joint command has decided to send in the cavalry in order to stop the fighting in the urban areas. Due to the confusing situation with some warlords supporting the western alliance, some violently opposing it and some remaining neutral, with little or no visual difference between them and uncertainty around the allegiance of every squads of Jordanian military forces in the area, joint command has issued orders to engage only elements that are openly hostile towards us.
The mission is straightforward but not simple; engage identified enemy targets with as little collateral damage as possible.
Joint command intelligence expects no high caliber AA units in Irbid, and none of the openly hostile factions have access to manpads or SAMs. However there are plenty of technicals with mounted machine guns and small arms on both sides.
Elements of the Jordanian air force may defect and try to engage our forces, but only light fighters or helicopters are available, all modern fighters are secured by troops loyal to the Jordanian government, who will not engage joint command forces.
Lastly the Jordanians and Syrians does not want us to stray too far into their airspace and them needing help with the ongoing insurrection is a big enough embarrassment as it is. Hence do not stray to far from the fighting area into the Jordanians or Syrians air territory since both have declared publicly that they retain the right to shoot down any fighter violating their airspace.

3 EXECUTION
3.1 Commander’s intent
Damage the enemy convoy, and force it to turn back.
3.2 Packages
The mission contains 2 packages:
Hammerhead, consisting of all fixed-wing aircraft from the George Washington
Kitefin, consisting of Harriers and Apaches from the USS Tarawa
3.3 Order of events
Hammerhead package will split into two groups, each consisting of attack and escort aircraft. The attack aircraft will be assigned a set of coordinates and a time-on-station for weapons release. These two sets of coordinates will be equidistant from and on different sides of the enemy convoy. Simultaneous attacks from two different directions at the same time will have the largest chance of breaking through the convoys aerial defences.
ARCTIC1 will lead the first group, with their release point located at N21 8′ 50″ E138 37′ 04″
BENDER2 will lead the second group, with their release point located at N18 32′ 07″ E138 14′ 52″
The time on station is 19:40 local time, 1½ hours after mission start.
Kitefin package are on standby to respond to Chinese submarine threat and may perform night-time carrier operations practice meanwhile.

Master Arms-Mästerskapen 2023 - Deltävling 1 & 2
2023-05-16 19:00 - 22:00
Deltävling 1
Precisionslandning
Målet är att landa ert plan så nära den utsatta punkten på banan som möjligt. För att en landning ska räknas ska det vara en fullgod landning – planet ska inta ta skada, ni ska inte studsa upp i luften igen och planet ska efter sättning stanna helt och hållet på banan. Punkten är mittlinjen mellan de två konerna på banas respektive sida.
Alla deltagare får tre försök, och det är det bästa utav dessa tre som räknas.
Deltävling 2
Navigation med karta och kompass
Alla får en färdplan med koordinater och en tid på vilken varje koordinat ska passeras. Ert jobb blir att räkna fram en färdplan med kurser, tider och hastigheter och sedan flyga denna. Varje koordinat ska passeras i rätt ordning och avståndet får max vara 0,5 nautiska mil sidledes bort från punkten vid passage – om ni missar en enda punkt är ni diskvalificerade. Er tid över punkten jämförs med färdplanen & varje sekunds differens adderas ihop i slutet. Den som lyckas flyga rutten med lägst antal sekunders straffpålägg vinner.
Ni startar på Sanliurfa flygfält i östa turkiet och startar upp och lyfter så fort ni är redo. Om någon annan taxar före er så vänta en minut efter att de har lyft innan ni startar. Er tid börjar då ni passerar rakt ovanför fältet efter att ni lyft – det vill säga, ni lämnar och passerar sedan fältet för att sätta igång.

Vinden är 140/6 knop vid havsnivån, 140/14 knop vid 1600 fot och 160/20 knop vid 6600 fot. Terrängen längs med rutten varierar mellan ca 1000-3500 fot.
