[. . . ] You should be headed in the same direction you were when you started the roll, and you should not have lost very much speed or altitude. If you did lose a lot of speed or height, that probably means you were performing the roll too slowly. 49 · Practice rolls. Always try to make your motions smooth and definite, with a precise objective in mind. Practice rolling until you can perform the maneuver without causing too much change in the direction your aircraft is headed. Half-Roll The full roll is not really a very useful maneuver. After all, you wind up right back where you started. The Half-Roll, on the other hand, is quite handy. It is an important component of several of the more complex flight maneuvers, like the Immelmann and the Split-S. · Get yourself plenty of altitude and airspeed, then check your compass heading for reference. Push the stick right or left, and hold it in that position until you are flying inverted. Use the HUD Pitch Ladder to determine when you have achieved inverted flight. 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. 50 Flying 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 airspeed that you had when you initiated the loop. MiG pilots find the loop on a 45 degree axis to be a very effective combat maneuver. · 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. Pull back on the stick and hold it back while the airplane goes through a complete circle, then push the airplane back to level when you approach normal flight attitude again.
