High-speed (extended six) overshoot

ADVANCED TACTICAL MANEUVERING

4.4.5.3.2. As the 3-9 overshoot occurs, the defensive aircraft needs to reverse into a nose

high pitchback, placing its lift vector aft of the bogey.

4.4.5.4. High-speed (extended six) overshoot

4.4.5.4.1. The High-speed and Co-speed overshoots initially look similar following the

low reversal. As the High-speed overshoot progresses, though, it becomes clear the

bogey eventually overshoots the defender's extended six o'clock position rather than the

3-9 line, and the defending student maintains his or her hard turn into the bogey until this

overshoot occurs.

4.4.5.4.2. As the result of this overshoot occurring at the extended six o'clock, the

defensive student utilizes the Extension/Pitchback Procedures similar to those used in the

out-of-plane presentations. Additionally, a reversal of turn is required to maintain sight

of the bogey. Therefore, as the bogey overshoots, the defensive student reverses, unloads,

and extends. As the student reacquires sight following the reversal, the bogey is in a nose

high out-of-plane maneuver. As the bogey subsequently repositions its nose back on, the

defensive student pitches back in towards the bogey.
