[. . . ] · When you have spent some time practicing turns, and you are ready to go on, check your fuel supply to be certain you have enough jet fuel to continue. You'll need it for this next session. The Break Turn The Break Turn is an emergency combat maneuver. It is very expensive in terms of energy (you risk losing lots of speed and altitude). A break turn can let you cut inside the turning radius of an oncoming missile, or throw off an opponent who is moving in for a gun kill. Break turns are most effective when performed suddenly and unexpectedly. · To start practice, get straight and level, then note your speed, heading, and altitude. Quickly push the stick all the way to the right, and pull it back all the way. This is actually two movements, but they should be performed very quickly and precisely. The first movement, to the right, rolls your aircraft until its wings are perpendicular to the ground, or even a little farther. Pulling back on the stick sharply then causes a very rapid turn. Watch the Pitch Scale on your HUD to determine when you have rolled the aircraft sufficiently far to the right to make the turn crisp. · Try to maintain the turn through at least 90 degrees of heading. Stop the roll when your wings are level and you are flying upside down. Properly done, a half-roll should be quick and precise, without overshooting the roll and having to correct. There should be little change in the compass heading of the aircraft. · Half-roll again to regain normal flight. Try to make them definite and rapid, with no wasted motion. Note the loss of airspeed and altitude associated with this maneuver, so you will know when it is safe to perform. · Check your fuel supply before continuing. 53 Chapter 6 Flying F-16 Loop The Roll was a motion without any forward or backward pressure on the stick. The Loop is a maneuver that requires no right or left pressure. Properly done, a loop will deliver your aircraft back to where it began, with nearly the same heading, altitude, and airHALF LOOP speed that you had when you initiated the loop. · Check airspeed, altitude, and heading for reference. You won't be able to tell if you have performed the loop properly unless you know where you started the maneuver. · Get up a little airspeed by going into a shallow dive.
