1)Good morning. Today we're in the cockpit of the A-10 passing over a training range where we will practice the Split-S and Immelman Turn maneuvers. These are famous air combat maneuvers invented during the first World War and still used today.
2)You can take control of the aircraft at any point or exit the mission by pressing the "ESC" key. If you need to pause the lesson, press the "PAUSE" key.
3)The Immelman and the Split-S are simple but effective vertical maneuvers that allow a rapid reversal of heading.
4)The Split-S exchanges altitude for speed and is often an effective method of extending out of a fight.
5)The Immelman exchanges speed for altitude and is useful for "hit and run" tactics.
6)To perform a Split-S, you'll first need to perform half an aileron roll to become inverted and then pull back on the stick to initiate a dive while reducing engine power to avoid gaining too much speed.
7)Keep the stick held back until the aircraft approaches the horizon and then return the stick to neutral to level out.
8)To perform an Immelman Turn, first move the throttles to full power.
9)From level flight and at least an airspeed of 330 km/h, pull back on the stick to begin the climb.
10)Keep the stick pulled back until the aircraft begins to approach the horizon on its back. As the pitch ladder reaches positive 10 degrees of pitch, perform a half an aileron roll to level out.
11)Now it's time for you to try a Split-S and an Immelman Turn. Press the "ESC" key to take control of the aircraft or exit the mission.
