    Question about airspeed!

    *** Posted by Ace ***
    Can the F-16 really reach the speed of 3 Mach? If not, how fast can a Falcon get?

    Maximum speed of F-16 is 1,319 mph (2,123km/h) at 39,370 ft (12,000 m).

    Gee..thanks for answering! I guess that you are an F-16 pilot, so I would like to ask something else..
    While on TWS, your radar scans a target 10 miles ahead of you. You move the cursors over the target in order to 'bug' him or lock him with a little stick on your throttle, isn't that right? And when you place the cursors over him, what do you press in order to designate him? Thanks again for your attention, and I hope you will respond again!

    For this discussion,
    it is assumed that the intent is to acquire some turning room (offset) to complete a conversion turn to the
    target's beam or stern. There are six steps in the baseline intercept:
    · Get on the CATA until 20 miles.
    · Get some offset at 20 miles.
    · Get a speed advantage.
    · Monitor aspect.
    · Go single target track (STT) at 10 miles.
    · Go pure pursuit at 120° aspect (6 - 8 NM range for a high aspect setup).
    CATA Until 20 Miles. The easiest method of getting on the CATA requires the radar to track the
    target (STT, SAM, or TWS tracked target). Simply turn toward the intercept steering symbol, or steering
    cross, until it is centered at 0° azimuth. The target is on the CATA when the cross is centered (Figure
    4.65).
    Offset at 20 Miles. Getting horizontal offset, or horizontal turning room, requires analysis of the
    target's aspect angle. The aspect angle is most accurately read from the MFD, although the aspect symbol
    in the HUD is also useful. In this discussion, it is assumed that the fighter has kept the target on the
    CATA until 20 NM, and then takes the following action:
    · If aspect angle is more than 120°, turn to displace the target 40° - 50° off the nose (40° - 50° from
    center of the MFD). Which direction to turn is a common question for beginners!
    · If aspect says "right" (e.g., 160R), turn to put target on the right side of the MFD.
    · Look at the aspect caret in the HUD. If it is right of center, turn right, and if it is left of center, turn
    left.
    · Look at the aspect readout in the MFD. Turn opposite of the letter at the end of the aspect readout
    (e.g., if the aspect says "15R," turn "L" or left).
