ACM 1 v 1 Defensive Maneuvering

T-45C TS, ADV & IUT ACMFP-03

(d) Establish out-of-phase overshoot by

maximum rate of roll reversal and

positive-G turn

Common error

(1) Problem: not unloading aircraft to a

negative-G situation

Prevention: ensure unload is at least one

negative G (limit to one G in training),

practice and acquire a feel for negative-G

flight

Variation—out-of-phase overshoot occurs

(1) If insufficient angle off and lateral

separation occur, then use rolling reversal

(2) If initially you have greater amount of angle

off and lateral separation, then use

connecting maneuver such as diving spiral

or maneuver for airspeed and lateral

separation
