Medium TA

With medium target aspect (20-25), the displacement turn maintains the fighter's position

relative to the bogey flight path. The fighter already has 20,000 feet of LD. When outward drift

is noted, it is countered initially with an easy turn (standard turn for what rounds to 25 TA).

The bogey should show a slight steady inward drift to allow maximum control of the loss of

lateral separation.

In order to maintain a slight steady inward drift towards the nose, the weapons officer has to

carefully watch as the drift slows or stops. Increase or decrease the turn rates as necessary to

maintain the drift. Again, the bogey should be on the nose at the 90 DTG position with 2 nm

slant range. Use Ease, Hold and Harder commands to maintain the bogey on the nose through

the rear quarter. The fighter is attempting to roll out within and 1 nm.
