The objective of the debrief is to determine if the desired mission objectives were achieved, identify lessons learned, and define aspects of training needing improvement. The end result should be all participants gaining solid direction after the debrief on h...

Briefing The best briefings are concise and factual. Their major purpose is to inform—tell about a mission, operation, or concept. At times they also direct—enable listeners to perform a procedure or carry out instructions. At other times they advocate or per...

This chapter builds on the formation fundamentals learned in undergraduate flying training— refer to AFMAN 11-251, Volume 1, T-38C Flying Fundamentals. 3.1    Introduction. We generally understand formation to mean two or more aircraft working together with ...

1.1  Overview. War in the aerospace environment is currently in a period of fast-paced evolution. Since the beginning of aerial combat, technological development has driven, and been driven by, progress in building more efficient and effective aircraft and wea...

2.1    Introduction. Mission preparation, individually and as a flight, is the foundation of successful fighter operations. It encompasses cockpit resource management (CRM), psychological considerations, objective application, the prioritization based on SA, ...

4.1    Introduction. Success in visual A/A combat depends on the ability of the fighter pilot to maneuver the aircraft into a position from which ordnance can be employed against the adversary. BFM is the efficient application of aircraft handling skills to e...

4.2    BFM Axioms. There are three basic axioms of BFM that apply to any situation. Whether offensive, defensive, or high aspect (neutral), the following three concepts apply to every situation. They are:•    Lose Sight, Lose the Fight•    Maneuver in Relatio...

4.3    BFM Concepts. BFM is not a set of canned maneuvers; rather, it is a dynamic combination of rolls, turns, and maneuvers to either create or solve a BFM problem. BFM problems can be created in range, angles, and closure. Each BFM selected is based on sol...

4.4    Power and Energy Management. Power affects airspeed and therefore turn radius and rate. Power is also used to control energy. Energy provides the potential to maneuver. Nonoptimal energy levels (usually expressed in airspeed) can result in degraded tur...

4.5    BFM Cross-Check. During a BFM engagement, we need to keep track of two things in order to be successful. First, we need to monitor our own aircraft performance to execute our game plan. Second, we need to monitor the Bandit’s position relative to us an...

4.6 Offensive BFM (OBFM). OBFM trains the fighter pilot to maneuver from a position of advantage to a controllable WEZ and kill the Bandit. OBFM is a sequential set of problems solved by the offender to arrive at a controllable WEZ and employ valid ordnance t...
