CROSSING POP ATTACK

A crossing pop attack is a tactic that enables a section to conduct a coordinated two-plane attack

on the same target (Figure 6-14). The ingress, "Z" diagram dive parameters (Figure 6-12), and

student's attack comm procedures are identical to the mirror pop attack, with the exception that

both aircraft perform a multi-axis, near simultaneous attack on the same target. Off the target,

the section will cross flight paths and continue on course. Aircraft deconfliction will be the

responsibility of the wingman.
