ACM 1 v 1 DEFENSIVE

Maneuvering

LESSON NOTES

* Defensive concepts/

tactics

The following engagement scenarios are designed to help the

* Defensive maneuvers

* Last ditch maneuvers

SNPs understand how a defensive maneuver may be applied

* Integration

and subsequently connected to other maneuvers in the air

combat arena. The “Initial scenario” sets the conditions. The

“Objective” identifies the SNP’s ultimate goal given those

conditions. “Options” list the most logical choice of maneuvers

to accomplish the goal.

Conduct an open-ended discussion, drawing answers from the

SNPs on what and why they selected certain maneuvers.

Discuss how that maneuver or combination of maneuvers will

accomplish the objective. Continue and build on the “Bandit

reactions” to link all the maneuvers in the lesson. Eventually

the discussions should lead the SNPs to more independent

thinking.

Allow adequate time for discussion.

A. Goal: to react with appropriate defensive maneuver in

order to turn a defensive situation to neutral situation or

better

B. Engagement 1

AOT and commits to low, then high yo-yo (bandit
