Items from various IPs during various events:
1)Read/research Ch. 2 n/w/c for numbers and items you had no idea what they meant 3 weeks ago (i.e. transition liner failure, CIT fail, in arming when you "check eng inst" what you're actually looking for)...things like that.
b)brief SEFE your game plan as far as alt and a/s is concerned. climbing to 20K once in the MOA? cruising at 250 or 800ITT (this is standard but not all IPs follow this)? This is so they know you have a plan and aren't just being lazy about yo shi...stuff. example: 800 ITT gave me about 258 when crusing to the MOA so the IP initially thought I was being lazy about holding 250.
4) Col Russell technique: ~15 NM out slow 220-230, 3-5 NM from FAF, boards, stand pwr up, below 2 bills config, slightly increase pwr to let a/s slowly decrease to final speed, then set around 87% once descending on final. This makes everything smooth and consistent with minor power adjustments (nice habit pattern for wx and form as lead)
D) Final turn: instead of searching for the TVV when in the final turn (could be somewhere crazy based on winds) just look at the numerical dive angle on the right side under the alt. it's precise and ALWAYS there.
E) The static that shows up in the DM pattern over the city to sabatoge your mission and drain your SA faster than Gonzo can get a number at the strip club (~69 sec) is coming from the aft radio. Not much you can do other than messing with the vol knob and, more importantly, clicking the aft radio every now and then (similar to a zipper). I would do this when twr was trying to call me or I was about to call them.
And lastly) know all the TOLD assumptions on 4-12 of the IFG along with all the numbers on your data card.
