LESSON NOTES

STARTS

* Engagement

concepts and tactics

By now, the student will have had practice in several flights and

* Head-on pass

should have an idea as to what his game plan should be based

* Engagements

* Integration

on two items: 1) his experience from practicing in the aircraft

and 2) discussion of tactics from this lesson. Therefore, open-

ended questioning techniques and multiple scenarios must be

used to lead the student through the thought processes

necessary to be successful in a neutral engagement.

Base the discussion upon one of the following techniques:

1. The instructor gives the students a setup for a neutral pass

and asks them to write their first move as well as why they

would choose that move. Then, asking one student to read,

the instructor can choose another student as the first

student’s opponent to simulate the fight. The students would

write the follow-on maneuver, based upon the response from

the opponent.

2. The instructor repeats this process, except the instructor

becomes the opponent. Have the student respond to a

preset scenario and change according to student response.

Each time the instructor or the student makes a move, they

explain the strategy and headwork as to why they chose the

maneuver.

3. Give the students the setup as before, only when you pair

students to “fight” or choose a student as your opponent,

have two students use planes on a stick to model the

engagement. This way you get more students involved and

see how well a student can plan or interpret another’s

strategy.

The IP should use scenario 1—one-circle to initiate the

integration section of this lesson. This scenario also serves as

an example for scenario 2, which the instructor may develop on

his own. Instructor questions (capitalized and boldface), placed
