Air Combat Maneuvering

Flight Procedures

To employ missiles, the free fighter must obtain proper separation and ensure that the engaged

fighter is out of his HUD for obvious reasons.

Another strategic consideration is to force the bandit to split the section whenever attacked from

outside the section. Refer to Figure 35 for the appropriate maneuver based on where the bandit is

attacking from.
