Background:
In a fictional campaign during WW2 allied forces have recently established small bases on Guam and Rota. A detachment of RAF and USAF fighters are tasked with supporting offensive operations towards Tinian and Saipan islands in the north. US and Japanese naval forces are maneuvering around the Mariana islands and a major naval engagement has just started with raids from carrier based aircraft.
Situation:
Allied inteligence reports that the enemy is preparing for a night time attack on Rota. Mossies will act as night fighters and deal with enemy recon at high altitude, other fighters will take off to deny the enemy our airframes as ground targets, and provide BARCAP at low level north of Rota. Make sure targets are DONKEYs or ANTONs to avoid blue on blue fire.

Fokus är på procedurer och helheten, inte bara själva landningen. Var väl bekanta med “teorin” och radiosnacket så att ni är förberedda.
Vi kommer att börja med en öppen frågestund på teamspeak klockan 19:00. Denna är inte obligatorisk utan till för frågor och funderingar på genomförandet. 19:30 börjar vi spawna in. Har man redan koll på CASE3 och bara vill repetera så behöver man inte vara med på briefen. Det är OK att komma sent, men beroende på vart i landningen vi är för dåvarande runda kanske du får vänta tills nästa runda innan du kan spawna in. Prata med ATC. Alla deltagare kommer att flyga soloflighter.
För att hinna med 2 landningar per person kommer de flesta att spawna in i airstartade plan. Om någon verkligen vill öva även på departure så kommer det att finnas ett fåtal flygplan som startar på båten.

1 SITUATION
1.1 Overview
The friendly rebel forces (The Kurds) have successfully entered Raqqa after our success and the terrorist group is now on the run south towards Iraq, but they still have a firm grip on the town and airfield of Palmyra. What is more worrying are the intel stating they have captured several mig-21: s and a complete SA-10 battery.
Syrian air force has now only one operating base in the center of their country at Al Qusayr. They can likely scramble 2-4 jets if they decide to from from Al Qusayr. The quality of their pilots is presumed to be poor. However, we expect many helicopters and transportation traffic as Syria are trying to rebuild there airbases up in the north with assets from Damaskus.
Russia are a “no factor” as there still are rebuilding their base at Latakia.

MiG-21, MiG-29, MI-24
Syria have at least four mig-21 station at Al Qusayr, their pilots are poorly trained. Airbase Marj Ruhayyil have all remaining mig-29 stationed to provide security to the area of Damascus. Also expect a lot of traffic from helicopters and AN-22 from Damascus up to Hama, Aleppo and Jirah as they are rebuilding there bases and runways in that area.
Note that the enemy group have got their hands on four mig-21. We do not know the state of there pilots. and who is actually flying them
1.5 Ground threats
BMP-2, BTR, MTLB, T55, ZSU-23, ZSU-23 Shilka, MANPADS, SA-8, SA-10
Syria’s remaining SA-10 are located at Damascus int airport and the terrorist group also have a complete and fully functional SA-10 system at Palmyra that are a highly threat to us.
Expect high concentration of 23mm and up to SA-8 in the region.
1.6 Friendly forces

1 SITUATION
1.1 Overview
Twelve days have elapsed since the downing of American Airways 587 by the Iranian frigate IRIS Khoresht-e Fesenjan over the Persian Gulf. In response US naval forces sunk the frigate IRIS Tahchin and heavily damaged corvette IRIS Kuku Sabzi and two patrol vessels. However, the US president and congress is still under heady pressure from political groupings, the Pentagon and public opinion that executed retaliations are inadequate.
To address dismay and to further project power in the region the US Navy was ordered to perform a strike on mainland Iran. Naval intelligence identified the 384th Intelligence and Electronic Warfare Battalion “Chaapgar-e daftar kharaab ast” based in Firuzabad as a suitable target due to the battalion’s involvement in the shoot down of AA587 and to cripple overall intelligence and electronic warfare capabilities.
Following the shoot down incident, the Iranian Air Force showed a record high presence in the air, with a significant decline in the last two days. Intelligence suggests that Iran’s many CAP missions have taken its toll on aircraft with an already high maintenance debt. This window of opportunity played right in the hand for Navy mission planners.
However, the US Air Force intervened in the last minute, to first accompany the strike package, and in the end through political maneuvering, acquire command of mission planning and execution. The new mission commander is the highly decorated Air Force Col. Ernest “Deadgun” Kiszobaeslowski.
1.2 Area of Operations

Remarks: Iranian combat air patrols have significantly declined the last two days. Still, intelligence estimate that Iran has at least ten airworthy generation 3 fighters at disposable. Six of these are based at Shiraz northwest of the target area.
1.5 Ground Threats
Enroute/Ingress/Egress: SA-10 and SA-11 installations east of proposed ingress route. Unconfirmed but likely close-in support by SAM and AAA installations respectively.
Target Area: Confirmed SA-2 and SA-6 installations. Previous intelligence has spotted rotating SA-3 and AAA sites. Other systems cannot be ruled out due to the situation. Expect manpads at key installations.
Remarks: Intelligence has pinpointed three permanent SAM installation at or on close proximity to the target area, and an additional five on daily rotation. Iranian air defense employ advanced surface to air tactics.

Tango Delta consists of nine buildings in close perimeter where the communication tower is a significant landmark.
Collateral considerations: The Shakkah Lakkah Market is located south-east of tango. The market is well-known for its wide variety of exotic spices and antique Persian rugs. Many European royals have visited and acquired rugs at the Shakkah Lakkah Market. Intelligence suggest a 80% probability that the market is closed on the given day.
Tango Echo consists of seven buildings.
Collateral considerations: Mullah Al-Dullah Kindergarten for diasabled children is located south-west of of tango. Mullah Al-Dullah is a prominent figure within the UNHCR community. Less than three weeks ago Italian UNHCR observer Appi Apolleri concluded her yearly revision of the kindergarten with “The Mullah is an incredibly warm man who’s good will might melt the coldest ice”.

1 SITUATION
1.1 Overview
The year is 2014. Civil war has been raging in Syria for two years.
A Mossad agent has infiltrated a fraction of the Islamic State, (IS) who has sent back Intel on a much disturbing matter.
During a push towards Aleppo, on siege of Kuweires, east of Aleppo, IS has come to possession of several ex. Soviet tactical nukes, as well as a research facility. It appears that the Syrians could be willing to use these weapons in this conflict.
The word is out that high generals in the IS want use these as dirty bombs in other parts of the world.
This presents a clear and present danger to Israel! This opportunity cannot be tolerated to escape our grasp.
We must act now to destroy all traces of this facility to neutralize this existential threat to our nation!

1 SITUATION
1.1 Overview
In the volatile geopolitical landscape surrounding the Middle East, tensions have escalated to a critical point. Intelligence reports from multiple sources confirm the existence of a clandestine nuclear facility nestled in the outskirts of Palmyra, Syria. This facility, believed to be under the control of a rogue faction with ties to extremist elements, poses an imminent threat to regional stability and global security.
The discovery of this nuclear facility has sent shockwaves through international diplomatic circles, prompting urgent action from coalition forces to neutralize the threat before it reaches catastrophic proportions. Codenamed “Operation Desert Fury,” a joint task force comprising air, ground, and special operations units has been assembled to execute a precision strike on the facility.
Located in a remote desert region, the facility is heavily fortified, protected by layers of anti-aircraft defenses and a network of hardened bunkers. Intelligence suggests that the facility is engaged in uranium enrichment and weaponization, raising concerns about the proliferation of nuclear capabilities into the hands of extremist groups.
With time of the essence, the coalition forces have mobilized assets from nearby airbases, including fighter jets, bombers, and reconnaissance aircraft. Special operations teams have been deployed to gather real-time intelligence and assess the enemy’s defenses, while ground units stand ready to provide support and secure the perimeter post-strike.
The success of Operation Desert Fury hinges on meticulous planning, seamless coordination, and the bravery of those tasked with executing the mission. Failure is not an option, as the consequences of allowing the nuclear facility to remain operational are too dire to contemplate. The clock is ticking, and the fate of the region hangs in the balance as coalition forces prepare to strike at the heart of darkness near Palmyra.
The F/A-18C Hornets, sleek and lethal, streak across the sky, their afterburners blazing as they spearhead the assault. Flying in tight formation with precision-guided munitions strapped beneath their wings, these multi-role fighters are poised to deliver a devastating blow to the enemy’s defenses.
Following closely behind, the F-16C Fighting Falcons, renowned for their agility and versatility, carve through the air with practiced expertise. Armed with an array of air-to-ground missiles and precision-guided bombs, they provide crucial close air support to suppress enemy anti-aircraft fire and neutralize ground threats.
Meanwhile, the F-15E Strike Eagles, known as the “Mudhens” for their ability to fly low and strike hard, soar overhead with a thunderous roar. These formidable aircraft, armed to the teeth with advanced targeting pods and standoff weaponry, loom large in the sky as they prepare to unleash hell upon the enemy’s fortified positions.
But it’s not just American firepower that fills the skies over Palmyra. The distinctive silhouette of the Viggen, Sweden’s rugged and reliable fighter-bomber, adds an international flavor to the coalition’s aerial armada. With its sophisticated avionics and precision-strike capabilities, the Viggen proves to be a valuable asset in the campaign to dismantle the enemy’s nuclear ambitions.
In the operational theater near the border between Syria and Beirut, the A-10 Thunderbolt IIs and AH-64 Apaches have been tasked with providing critical close air support (CAS) to coalition forces operating in the area, as well as covering a high-priority prisoner transport operation.
The Harrier aircraft have joined the mission to strike at an SA-8 threat that has been detected in the operational area where the AH-64 Apaches and A-10 Thunderbolt IIs are providing close air support (CAS) to coalition ground forces. With their vertical takeoff and landing capabilities, the Harriers offer unique advantages in conducting precision strikes against enemy air defense systems, such as the SA-8.
Equipped with a variety of air-to-ground munitions and advanced targeting systems, the Harriers are ideally suited to engage and neutralize the SA-8 threat from a variety of angles and altitudes. Their ability to operate in confined spaces and rapidly reposition makes them highly effective in engaging mobile and concealed targets, such as the SA-8 launcher.
Coordinating closely with the AH-64 Apaches and A-10 Thunderbolt IIs, the Harriers leverage their speed, agility, and versatility to deliver decisive blows to the SA-8 threat, clearing the way for unhindered CAS operations in the area. By neutralizing the enemy’s air defense capabilities, the Harriers ensure the safety and success of coalition ground forces engaged in critical missions along the border.
Furthermore, the presence of the Harriers demonstrates the coalition’s commitment to maintaining air superiority and eliminating threats to regional stability. Their rapid response and precision strike capabilities play a vital role in achieving mission objectives and safeguarding coalition forces operating in this dynamic and challenging environment.”
With the addition of the Harrier aircraft, the coalition’s air strike capabilities are further bolstered, enabling the neutralization of the SA-8 threat and ensuring the continued effectiveness of CAS operations in support of coalition ground forces.
1.2 Area of operations
The southern region of Syria is also characterized by a mix of urban centers, agricultural areas, and strategic infrastructure such as military bases and airfields. This diverse landscape requires a multifaceted approach to military operations, including both conventional and unconventional tactics tailored to the specific challenges of each environment.
1.3 Time and weather

* FORCE QNH 3051 / 1033
1.4 Air threats
With the Syrian Air Force severely depleted and only a handful of their MiG-29s deemed airworthy, the coalition planners factor in this intelligence into their mission strategy. Recognizing the limited air defense capability posed by the Syrian Air Force, the coalition’s air superiority is significantly less challenged.
However, they remain vigilant, understanding that even a few operational MiG-29s could pose a threat to the mission’s success. In response, additional measures are put in place to counter any potential aerial threats.
1.5 Ground threats
BMP-2, ZSU-23 Shilka, MANPADS, SA-10, SA-2, SA-6, SA-8, MANPADS
The presence of advanced surface-to-air missile (SAM) systems such as the SA-10 (S-300), SA-2 (S-75), and SA-6 (Kub) poses a significant challenge to the coalition’s mission to destroy the nuclear facility near Palmyra. Additionally, the threat of Shilka self-propelled anti-aircraft guns further complicates the air campaign.
SA-10 located at the Palmyra airbase and the SA-2 at the Nuclear facility
With the additional intelligence confirming the presence of an SA-10 at Abu al-Duhur and an SA-2 at Tal Siman, coalition commanders reassess the potential impact of these SAM sites on the mission to strike at the nuclear facility near Palmyra. After careful analysis, it is determined that these sites are unlikely to interfere with the primary mission objectives.
The SA-10 at Abu al-Duhur and the SA-2 at Tal Siman are located outside the operational area of the mission to strike at the nuclear facility. Their engagement ranges and altitudes do not intersect with the flight paths or target areas of the coalition’s strike aircraft, minimizing the risk to the mission.
1.6 Friendly forces
The offer of support from the Jordanian Air Force (JAF) to provide F-16A Fighting Falcons for protection of aerial refueling tankers and Airborne Warning and Control System (AWACS) aircraft at the border of Jordan is a valuable asset to the coalition’s mission.
The deployment of ground forces, including trucks, Humvees, and a Hawk battery, at the border between Syria and Beirut plays a crucial role in supporting the overall mission objectives and enhancing the security of the region.

1 SITUATION
1.1 Overview
Over the past year, Iran has significantly upgraded its military capabilities through arms deals with Russia, notably acquiring MIG-29S fighters equipped with advanced R-77 missiles.
Recent threats towards the UAE, underscored by the menacing posture of deploying SCUD missiles, have escalated tensions in the region. Iran’s aggressive stance, manifested in direct threats to Al Minhad Air Force Base and naval mobilizations, has prompted a critical response to ensure regional stability and safeguard strategic interests.
1.2 Area of operations
The most obvious landmark and the largest island in the Strait of Hormuz is Qeshm Island with 3 smaller islands to the south and east. The islands as well as the coastal area consists of mostly open terrain with two major cities along the coast, Bandar-e Lengeh west of Qeshm Island and Bandar Abbas northeast, Where Bandar Abbas Intl is located right on the eastern edge of the city.
Inland, it changes to hilly and mountainous terrain which allows good opportunities for radar shadowing and low ingress/egress to Lar airfield.
1.3 Time and weather
DTG 270400DMAY21
Clouds Scattered 18-20k ft
Wind from 026̊ / 8 kts
Temp 21̊ C
FORCE QNH 2992 / 1013
1.4 Air threats
Iran’s air force consists mainly of MiG-29S Fulcrum and F-14A Tomcats. Latest intelligence indicates that 4-8 MiG-29S stationed at Qeshm Island, 4-8 MiG-29S stationed at Bandar Abbas Intl, 4-8 MiG-29S stationed at Lar and 4-8 F-14A stationed at Shiraz Intl.
Assessment: 25% is used for CAP, 25% on high alert and the rest in reserve, or undergoing maintenance.
1.5 Ground threats
Iran’s air defense network has been significantly bolstered, featuring a range of SAM systems including SA-2, SA-3, SA-6 and mobile SA-15 and SA-19. In addition, the presence of AAA and MANPADS around air bases and other important infrastructure must be taken into account.
Assessment:
2 x SA-2 in the area around Bandar Abbas
2 x SA-2 on Qeshm Island
1 x SA-6 on Larak Island
1 x SA-6 at Lar Airfield
1 x SA-3 in the area south of Lar Airfield
The recent acquisition of HARM detection technology indicates an advanced and adaptive air defense strategy.
Assessment: This is still only used on a limited level prioritized for systems such as the SA-6
SRBM-launchers have been observed at Lar, Qeshm Island and near Bandar Abbas Intl.
Keys required for launch from Qeshm and Bandar Abbas Intl are deemed to be held by two generals who are currently on Qeshm and Larak Island.
Assessment: Neutralize these generals gives us time to deal with the threat of SRBM and is therefore seen as HVT. However, destroying the SRBM-launchers is our main goal. The SRBM’s at Lar is estimated to be able to be fired within 2 minutes.
One Grisha-class and one Tarantul-class corvette anchored in BQ 82 (South of Bandar-e Lengeh).
Assessment: These are judged to advance towards Qeshm Island when we begin the attack.
1.6 Friendly forces
F-14B and F/A-18C onboard CVN-72 stationed in the Persian Gulf, AH-64D onboard LHA-1 stationed in the Strait of Hormuz.
All other flights currently at main base Al Minhad AFB.
SOF units active in the AO. Currently conducting reconnaissance in NAI 1 and NAI 2, capable of marking targets with IR-pinter.
1.7 Civilian/3rd part
Iran’s armed forces have taken control of the airports and all non-combatant airport personnel have left the area. Beyond that, no evacuation has taken place.
2 MISSION
1. DENY use of SRBM-systems against UAE
2. DENY use of ASM-systems in the Persian Gulf
3. CLEAR Qeshm Island- and Bandar Abbas Intl. airfields
4. DENY use of Lar Airfield
3 EXECUTION
3.1 Endstate
Mission complete when we have freedom of movement, at sea and in the air, in the eastern part of the Persian Gulf and the Strait of Hurmuz.
We have reduced the threat of SRBM against UAE.
3.2 Concept of Operations
INITIALLY one (1) flight STRIKES Lar Airfield, one (1) flight STRIKES ASM-systems at Tunb Island, one (1) package DESTROYS SA-2’s at Qeshm Island, one (1) package DESTROYS SA-2’s at Bandar Abbas and one (1) package HOLDS at Khasab.

Foothold Saturday
2024-03-30 20:00 - 23:59
Denna lördag kör vi om det vi påbörjade, omstart och mer structurer. Kommer vara svårare A/G mål.

Propellersöndag - Bootcamp
2024-03-31 20:00 - 22:00 | Normandy
RSVP: 24 04 01 – 19:30 (please sign-up asap though, as it makes things easier to plan)
Activity: Basic practice in props
Theatre: Normandy 2.0
Modules: Anything that has a spinny thing in front
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.

Övningstisdag - VFR Airfield Operations
2024-04-02 19:30 - 22:00 | Caucasus
Vi börjar 19:30 med en teoretisk genomgång om hur flygning VFR på och kring ett flygfält ska gå till. Vi berör trafikvarvet, olika punkter av intresse kring flygplatsen, flygledningsfraser och så vidare.
Sen hoppar vi in i tornet och våra respektive moduler och prövar på teorin i ‘verkligheten’. Kutaisi GND, TWR och CTRL kommer att vara bemannade så värm upp radiorösten och lägg ILS:en på hyllan!
