Low Level V: Heading – One-in-60 rule and Deviations
The “One-In-60” rule is a simple and common technique used to assess and correct track issues. Similar principles can be used to perform impromptu deviations from the planned track.

Low-Level IV: Time Management
Time is a fundamental parameter of both mission planning and execution. Sometimes, however, things do not go as planned, and learning how to catch up is critical.
The discussed techniques include dogleg, trombone, speed management and other considerations.
A huge thank you to Vulture (F-4E WSO) and Gaby (AdA Alphajet/Mirage 2000 pilot) for their valuable input!
Low-Level III: Wind-Induced Drift
Wind is critical to planning accurate speed and course. However, wind can change, or external factors can cause the aeroplane to divert. This video shows how the “clock method” can rapidly approximate wind effects.
TWR, Fuel & Performance: F-16C, JF-17, F/A-18C – Comparison
A look at thrust-to-weight ratio, performance and fuel consumption of F/A-18C Hornet, JF-17 Thunder and F-16C Fighting Falcon.
Low-Level II: Planning Overview
We have the tools and a general idea of what low-level operation entails, as well as dead reckoning and pilotage. It’s time to put them into practice.
Low-Level I: Introduction, Dead Reckoning & Pilotage
After the release of the Low-Level Tools, we embark on the journey into “how to do low-level things”, starting with a broad historical introduction and mentions of dead reckoning and pilotage.
