Hey, that was a cool video. Brought back some ancient memories. Do you guys do a pitch to the peach then land? That is how we use to land. Only did straight-ins on instrument approaches or emergencies.

well you tell me how I do a pitch to the peech and I will land it like that :) I pretty much did a flare landing and landed on the side to sort of give my invisible wingman the other side lol

I am not sure of the numbers. However, you fly down the runway at about 1000'AGL and say 200Ks It is about 300-350 kts in most fighters. At the midway point you make a 60 degree 2 G 180 degree turn. Roll out with the runway on your wing tip. Drop gear, flaps, slow to 80-100kts.

When the runway is at 7:00/4:00 or 45 degrees that is the perch, you roll off, set a decent of about 500fpm and make another 180 rolling out about 200 ft above the runway on air speed and AOA. Re-check gear, and land.

Simple :)

ok so down the runway = downwind
midway = midfield? (when passing the middle of the runway)

sounds like a high perf traffic pattern :p

It is but, that is the standard fighter landing pattern. In TAC we called it the "break" UPT called it the "Pitch". Same, same.
