When no trend exists, give way to the right for a left-to-left pass. Broadcast your own intentions. • For converging flight paths, nose-high goes high. Nose low has collision avoidance responsibility. Broadcast your own intentions. • Never intentionally maneuver to lose sight (no blind lead turns). • If lose sight, transmit “c/s blind” or “c/s, blind sun” and turn away from predicted collision bearing. Other aircraft shall respond with “c/s continue” or “c/s blind, altitude.” Up-sun aircraft is responsible for collision avoidance. Knock-it-off any time deconfliction is not assured. • SEM: Without tally/visual, aircraft shall conduct belly checks every 90 degrees of turn. • Call “ballistic” for slow speed reduced maneuverability <100 KIAS • No head-on missile attacks inside 9,000ft (1.5nm) • No forward quarter gun attacks. Break off all gun attacks at 1,000 ft. • Terrain Avoidance:Offensive (high) aircraft will monitor the defensive (low) aircraft’s altitude, attitude, and airspeed and will break off the attack prior to pushing the defensive aircraft through the hard deck. • Termination of ACM • ACM shall cease when “Knock it off” is called or an aircraft is rocking its wings. • “Knock it off” for: • Be aware of the high midair collision potential following a “knock-it-off” call

His nose position and move post-merge will determine the engaged fighter (ie: NL = 11, NH = 12) 1

At the initiation of the “fight’s on,” he will merge with both fighters and set desired flow after the merge with the far fighter. The near fighter should still execute a pure nose high maneuver at the merge and the far fighter should set 2C flow. Based on the bandit’s nose and LV, the engaged fighter will be determined. (ie: NH=11, NL=12)

Once fighters are visual and the Bandit has 2, Viper 1 will detach to set up the next presentation.
