A-10C OCU

[Flyco]

Having tried out the first A-10C OCU mission, the reaction was generally favourable, and so I have made a number of corrections to the mission, which I will use in future.

I have also prepare a 2-page outline of the mission, which should be taken as a pre-brief for anyone who want to fly it in the future. This is attached below.

Also attached, is a short explanation of altimeter setting procedures, which I have published in response to a question asked after the above sortie.

Finally, I have also attached, an outline of what I feel should be the A-10C standard start and departure procedure. I will shortly publish similar outlines of in-flight procedures and recovery procedures.

Many thanks for this.

I look forward to attending on Thursday.

Thank you Flyco.

Do we confirm next Thursday?
Cheers

I should be OK for Thu 13 at 1930.

Unfortunately my mother has been taken ill and I'm afraid I can't make it again tonight.

I hope I'll be able to make it next week if there is space.

[0413 Luis]

I really feel sory for you.
Keep head up.
Cheers

[0405 Andrew]

No worries, hopefully next week mother or children permitting!

Hi all,
fast recovery to your mother Andrew.
I have a couple of questions:
1) can i fly with one of the second 4 x A10C ( if any available) or i have to wait for my wings award to join?
2) Shall i submit a PIREP after the flight if i can fly or i have to wait for my wings again?

P.S. I love the explanation of altimeter settings!
It feels like i'm back at ground school!

Falcon, turn up by all means. I am sure we can get you airborne with someone to check you.

Beforehand:
make sure that you can get onto TeamSpeak, to the non-password protected 'room';
ensure that you have SRS set up and tested, using the RAF air SRS server;
ensure that you can get onto the RAF Air Server.

I will be using my server for this evenings, but the procedure is exactly the same as for the main RAF Air server.

See you on our TeamSpeak at 1930.
