ACM 1 v 1 Offensive Maneuvering
(4) If bandit continues two-circle, immediately come out of the high
yo-yo and regain airspeed to increase turn rate; low yo-yo may
be required to bring nose to bear
(5) Close to weapons envelope
LESSON NOTES
Point out that yo-yo's may be employed in any maneuvering plane.

Common errors
a.
Problem: overshoots because of 1) failure to recognize closure rate
and 2) late execution of high yo-yo
Correction: anticipate need for reducing closure and execute high yo-
yo to prevent overshoot (could result in possible horizontal scissors)
b.
Problem: holds high portion of yo-yo too long and allows bandit to
increase nose-to-tail separation, thus losing advantage
Correction: with closure controlled and overshoot prevented, bring
nose down to maintain nose-to-tail (could result in possible low yo-yo)
