-Aircraft Procedure-

  • AIRCRAFT PROCEDURES - B-81 THUNDERSHARK

    1. Right Console, activate Battery, then APU and the Engine Primer.

    2. Unlock (forward) the Throttle and add 5% power to ignite engine on the Left Console.

    3. Trim aircraft Full.

    4. Check Control Surfaces and full power for takeoff.

  • WEAPONS STATION -

    1. Guns.

    2. Cannon (210).

    3. Rockets (6).

    4. Bombs (2).

  • DIVE BOMBING PROCEDURES -

At 20-25 thousand ft (if needed, jettison the mid fuel tank to reduce drag and weight), switch Airbrakes and Flaps full down, 2.5 miles away from the target(s), check Needle Radar for target position, at 1 mile away when the needle is left or right (depending on your horizontal position between the target(s), bank slowly 75 degrees, dive (no brakes, at low speeds can stall the aircraft) and aim at set target(s), release bomb, flaps back to neutral and switch off Airbrakes full Throttle and pull at no less than 8,000 ft to climb up.

The aircraft contains a high pressure chamber similar to rockets to shoot the bombs more accurately and faster, in some events, the bombs can be shot without dive bombing with an angle of attack of -3 to -5 or more if necessary.

-AIRCRAFT STALL PROCEDURE-

(If at safe altitude of 20k or more, no less than 15k to unstall the aircraft)

  1. Set Throttle to zero, Flaps up Trim to zero.

  2. Set angle of attack to -15 (dive), regain speed, when if speed is gain slowly pull up the aircraft.
