Falcon 4.0 ACMI Air Combat Manoeuvering Instrumentation - that's the long winded name for the flight recorder in Falcon 4.0. This is an extremely powerful tool for analysing and learning from your flights and manoeuvers. Here's an example. Mission 3 in the Falcon 4 manual sets you up to practice Max G turn at corner airspeed . Corner airspeed is the speed at which the aircraft can turn in the smallest radius and quickest time. For the F-16 that's between 330 and 440 knots and a turn radius of 3500 feet. The numbers are a little hard to read in my screenshots so here they are: 1st turn: 153 KTS 18 088 FT 6 DEG/S 3016 FT 2nd turn: 351 KTS 21 477 FT 0 DEG/S 144 386 FT Turn No.1 looks beautiful - I've rolled out almost precisely at the point of entry into the turn. But that wasn't the point of the exercise! The aim was to sustain the maximum turn rate, Check out my speed - only 153 knots - almost at the stll point and a useless speed and energy state for combat. Turn 2 was better - I've rolled out at 351 knots - the fighter is still in a high energy state - much more desirable! In both cases I've not maintained the entry altitude of 20,000 feet either. Not to worry - back to practicing! The point is I can see exactly what I did during flight - what a great way to sharpen up circuits and landings - in fact every type of manoeuver. |
