Flight Procedures
Out-of-Plane Maneuvering
One of the quickest ways to gain position advantage in a high-aspect engagement is through the
uncountered use of out-of-plane maneuvering. By flying your jet through a plane of motion above the
bandit’s, you collapse your turning circle relative to his (see Figure 33).
