Reference Points for AAR
Posted: 22 Mar 2019, 16:46
I am still having variable results in tanking with the F18. What reference points to most people use when approaching the KC-135MPRS, and what do you use when maintaining position.
At the moment I am using the alignment of the top of HUD glass plates with the tanker wingtip, but it does seem very variable. I am flying training missions at 215 kias, 250 kias, and 285 kias. I find the 250 and 285 easier with the 215 being a bastard.
Any advice welcome. Or if anyone has a track of the approach to contact I would like to see it.
