[. . . ] You can do this manually by using the joystick, or you can just press the L key. You are ready to continue with your mission. Basic Flight Maneuvers Your piloting skills will improve with understanding and practice only. You should take ample time to master each of the Basic Flight Maneuvers (BFM) listed below. This fundamental understanding is key to your survival. Always know where you want to put the plane. You should make deliberate and controlled movements to get it there. Turns The first of the Basic Flight Maneuvers to master is the simple turn. Practice turning until you can do so with precision, and without wasting time, altitude, or airspeed. · Start this series of turns from level flight. You will not, of course, always be in level flight when you initiate a turn, but for this practice session start from straight and level. Use the L key to level your aircraft if you have trouble keeping it stable. Check the compass indicator in the box at the bottom of your HUD to determine your compass heading. The boxes at the side of the HUD will tell you your airspeed and altitude above sea level. Push the handle of your joystick part way to the left, and at the same time pull back on it slightly. Hold your aircraft in this flight attitude until your compass heading is 120 degrees left of your original direction, then use the joystick to bring the aircraft back to straight and level on the new course. Use the L key if you have to. 50 Flying F-16 · Check to see if you have lost any speed or altitude in the turn. Anytime you maneuver in the air you potentially lose energy, so always keep an eye on your speed and altitude. The farther you push the stick to the right or left during a turn, and the farther back you pull on it, the faster the turn will be. Strive to make your turns crisp and precise, so that you come out of the turn facing the direction you want to be going. · When you have spent some time practicing turns, and you are ready to go on, check your fuel supply to be certain you have enough jet fuel to continue. You'll need it for this next session. The Break Turn The Break Turn is an emergency combat maneuver. It is very expensive in terms of energy (you risk losing lots of speed and altitude). A break turn can let you cut inside the turning radius of an oncoming missile, or throw off an opponent who is moving in for a gun kill. Break turns are most effective when performed suddenly and unexpectedly. · To start practice, get straight and level, then note your speed, heading, and altitude. Quickly push the stick all the way to the right, and pull it back all the way.
