ACM 1 v 1 Offensive Maneuvering
(1) Bandit calls "In as the target" and turns with 45-60 degree AOB
into fighter
(2) Fighter calls "In as the shooter" and hard turns into bandit
(3) Fighter reverses as bandit reaches 10 or 2 o'clock to achieve a
snap guns solution of 60-90 degrees AOT
(4) Bandit maneuvers out-of-plane to defeat gun solution
(5) Fighter overshoots bandit because of high track crossing angle
(TCA)

overshoots
(7) Both aircraft finish in combat spread ready to initiate subsequent

3.
Common errors
a.
Problem: delaying reversal and overshooting without reaching gun
solution
Correction: reverse sooner and use back stick, and rudder to position
nose into snap guns envelope
b.
Problem: reversing early and passing too close with too high AOT
Correction: turn away and pass outside of bandit's turn to avoid
midair collision
