FM/BG-1007.V1.01 - Controlling the aircraft in CAS
Flaps Use
- Deploy flaps at low speeds to improve lift and stability. This is especially effective during gun or rocket runs in low-threat airspace.
Navigation Techniques
- When visibility is limited, follow road networks at low altitude to align yourself with target towns.
- In good visibility, flying inverted at altitude provides terrain awareness before a dive.
Ordnance Delivery Tips
- Never rush a drop. If target alignment is not clear, abort and re-attack.
- Attack parallel to friendly lines to avoid overshooting or undershooting into friendlies.
- Dive attacks improve accuracy for both dumb and guided munitions. Alternatively, use pop-up attacks: fly low, then climb before diving on the target.
Laser Guidance Adaptation
- Even without laser-guided munitions, use laser marks to align gun runs. Lock onto the laser as if it were guiding a bomb, then switch to guns and fire once aligned.
