I discuss why we use carburetors and the different types of carburetors in aircraft engines.
How military aircraft fly in formation, the different types of formations used, and how they deal with contingencies.
I talk about low-frequency radio ranges, a long-dead primitive form of instrument navigation.
Learn about where and why ice forms, and why it’s such a big deal to the pilots who fly through it (and try to avoid it).
I cover the different ways pilots put dumb bombs on target.
High-altitude, high-speed aerodynamics, including Mach tuck, coffin corner, and Dutch roll.
I cover the different types of airspeeds, what they all mean, and why they’re important.
I cover some details of laser- and GPS-guided weapons; how they work, tactics, and shortcomings.
Part 6 of 6: I cover gross navigational errors (GNEs), some of the procedures used in the cockpit to mitigate risk, and strategic lateral offsets, or SLOP.
