T-39 AIR-TO-AIR TRAINING RULES
1. Aircraft will use the local altimeter setting passed by Seabreeze
prior to entering the airspace.
2. Weather required: 2,000 ft vertical and 1nm horizontal separation
from clouds, and 5nm visibility.
3. A 1,000 ft “bubble” shall be maintained at all times.
4. Standard Fighter Sanctuary Altitudes (FSA) are: 12,000 ft, 16,000 ft
and 20,000 ft. Any changes required for weather will be coordinated on
UHF1.
5. Except to transit between FSAs, the Fighter shall only leave its FSA
with a tally. In the rear quarter a tally is required to go nose high/low
for the dot. The Bogey shall remain clear of the FSAs at all times.
6. If in a hard as possible turn, a “reversal” shall not be called.
Instead, call “steady up”, then hard as possible in the desired direction.
Night Reattack & Conversions Only:
7. During night intercepts the Fighter shall maintain its FSA throughout
the CT. Once stabilized in the RQ, the Fighter may go “nose high/low for
the dot” with a tally IAW (5) above.
8. Both aircraft shall operate at altitudes from 11K to FL210. The bogey
will be set in its block at “fights on” call.
9. A climb or descent to the high or low FSA will be called on the ICS by
the MC at 15NM, if there has not been a call made previously.
Advanced 1v1 and Strike Route Events Only:
10. Advanced intercepts shall not be conducted prior to 30 minutes after
sunrise, or after 30 minutes before sunset.
11. Forward Quarter missile attacks shall cease at 9,000 ft (1.5nm) slant
range.
12. The Fighter shall climb/descend to the high/low FSA no earlier than
15nm. The Bogey may make any altitude change > 15nm. The Bogey may not
cross the current FSA < 15nm and must be set in the block by 10nm. The
Bogey may leave the medium block for the high/low block but shall not
leave the high/low block for the medium block < 15nm.
