ACM 1 v 1 Neutral Starts
C. Separation
1.
Pass with minimum lateral separation to deny bandit
angles
2.
Any lateral separation at the pass gives the bandit
turning room to gain angles
3.
Early turn at the pass produces tactical advantage
D. Rate (energy) fight
1.
Fighter may gain energy advantage while not
yielding decisive position advantage, and eventually
converting energy advantage into lethal position
advantage
2.
Attempt to enter the merge at or near corner (VC)
velocity. If you are:
a.
Below corner velocity, perform an unloaded
extension until airspeed increases to VC
b.
At corner velocity, perform a nose-low energy-
sustaining turn
c.
Above corner velocity, perform a nose-high
pitchup maneuver in the vertical until airspeed
decreases to VC
3.
Strive to maintain cornering speed during energy
engagements
a.
Higher speeds cause arcing turns
b.
Lower speeds reduce turn rate
4.
Advantages of energy tactics
a.
Maintains higher energy state
b.
Presents possibility of separation and
disengagement
