Turn Rate & Radius Tab Data

I didn't realize how much planning you could do with simple turn radius and turn rate data. Unfortunately the charts in the 3-3 CMG are not the easiest to use. Using the formulas that created those charts, I've created tab data. They are more accurate than some of the tab data out there. The Turn Rates have been rounded to the nearest hundredth and the Turn Radius to the nearest 50.

Quick TAC Review

Do you ever get rusty between TAC flights? If you do, you might like "Omar" Bradley's two page TAC Refresher. It's a quick review of some TAC numbers and concepts.

I havent' reviewed the data for complete accuracy. There are some elements in which I plan to reuse for future versions of my gouge.

Instrument Departures

We often fly in pretty good weather. When we are face with SKE in actual IMC, it's a challenge. When the weather is really bad, we often find ourselves getting into books to make sure we're doing things legally....and safely. Most of us remember the Weatherman's Phone Number, but we often forget many of the details.

I've redrawn the diagrams in Section 8 of AFI 11-202V3 and made them checklist sized. When I have some more time I'll include info from AFI 11-2C-130V3 and simplify everything. For now, this can be a guide to carry in your planning checklists to aid in mission planning.

Kneeboard Gouge (Little Rock E-Model)

I'm in the process of updating my kneeboard gouge. I'm making both an E and H3 Model checklist. This isn't the final version, but when the final versions are done, I will post them here. Click on the title to download the current version....includes new Pen-D tables.

Stall Speeds

I've looked through the new and the old Combat Mission Guide, only to find that there are no Stall Speeds for 60° of bank. I went through the 1-1 and addeded them. When in doubt, I rounded up. Click on the title to download this file.
