A-10 Overhead Pattern landing procedures
« on: December 07, 2015, 03:06:52 PM »
Here's a link to a post in the DCS forums that describes the real-world procedures for an A-10 overhead pattern. It's an excerpt from USAF training documentation. It goes into a lot of detail about airspeeds, configuration, and references points.

It's post #18 on the second page of  this thread:

I'd suggest this be the standard way we enter the pattern and land in the A-10. (It looks cool too!)

Any pilot that tells you he's never been lost is either lying or he's never been anywhere.

I like the overhead approach and it falls in place for the most part of what we have been doing all these years..
