the briefing. Briefings should be performed prior to establishing connection to the mission host since chat in the UI can interfere with pilots flying in the 3D world. Pilots should change their IRC nick to “call sign-nick” during briefings to indicate they are part of a mission briefing in progress. 3.2 Connecting to a multiplayer game The mission or game host will tell when the “host is up”. Each pilot will ensure the briefed game IP, client bandwidth and IVC server is set connecting to the host. After getting in the UI, each pilot shall accomplish a radio check with the host (or another pilot if needed). Once all pilots are accounted for, any short last briefing items should be accomplished. Again, limited communication using F1 and F2 since this is interfering with people, who already fly. When the host enters the Tactical Engagement (TE) it will become available online, and pilots should enter 2 nd chat and should stop their clocks. 3.3 Entering the Falcon 3D world The game host will call “C/S launching ramp or taxi” and pilots now launch to either ramp (T/O -20 min) or taxi (T/O -4 min) and should report “C/S launching”. All flight members join the 3D world and checks in by typing “in”. 87 th Stray dogs | Standard Operating Procedures | 2013 | Change 2 Page 10
4 Ground Operations (Basic IQT) 4.1 Falcon launch options Ground operations refer to procedures performed while the jet is on the ground and include startup, establishment of radio contact, ground checks, taxi speed, line-up and take-off procedures. Lead should initiate radio contact no later than 15 min. prior to T/O and taxi out in order to arrive at the End of Runway (EoR) at least 4 minutes prior T/O. This will allow sufficient time for final checks (SLIPER) and is important when flying in larger packages. Ramp start: When entering the jet the canopy will be open. Each pilot now starts his engine and closing of the canopy should be done after the JFS switches to OFF to indicate you have no problems with engine and throttle. In addition, the lights are set to STEADY to indicate a human is operating the a/c (See External lights settings (day/night) for details below). Afterwards perform needed checks to be ready for the radio check on the flights assigned VHF channel 15 min. prior to takeoff (T/O). Lead will check the flight in. Wingmen will inform the flight lead of any problems via voice otherwise lead will assume all systems are green. Once the INS is aligned wingmen will indicate ready to taxi by setting position lights to FLASH and landing light ON - no radio communication needed. Flight leads may elect to skip the full 8 min. INS alignment for time constraints. This procedure can be briefed as “87 th short alignment”. Taxi start: When entering the jet set the lights to STEADY to indicate that the 87 th Stray dogs | Standard Operating Procedures | 2013 | Change 2 Page 11
