Welcome.

I'm Colonel Ryan Baker Callsign "Sabre" and will be your Flight Examiner (FE) for
this Performance Objective.

TAC21 - BAI Mission Management Day is the eleventh mission of the Tactical Training
Qualification Course for the A/OA-10C.

Your grading will be based on the following in accordance with the A/OA-10 Aircrew Evaluation
Criteria: AFI11-2A-OA-10V2:

3.4 Tactical Employment

3.4.3. Air-to-Surface:
3.4.3.1. Area 81--Target Acquisition:
3.4.3.1.1. Qualified (Q): Target acquired on the first attack or a successful re-attack was
accomplished.

location.

3.4.7.4. Area 124--Target Marking/Description:

3.4.7.4.1. Qualified (Q): Accomplished accurate and timely marking. Fighters understood
location of the specific target.

however, remarking or excessive verbal description was required to identify the target.
3.4.7.4.3. Unqualified (U): Fighters could not locate the target even after remarking.

3.4.7.5. Area 125--Observation Position (As Required by the Scenario):

3.4.7.5.1. Qualified (Q): Manoeuvred to clearly observe the target and attack aircraft during
all phases of the attack. Exercised positive aircraft control.

and attack aircraft. Momentary deviations from maneuvering parameters.
3.4.7.5.3. Unqualified (U): Observation position did not allow an adequate view of the target

3.4.7.6. Area 126--Attack Control:

clear, timely, accurate ordnance adjustment instructions and attack clearance to each aircraft.
3.4.7.6.2. Qualified Minus (Q-): Control of fighters and ordnance adjustment were adequate and
safe. Control and clearances could have been more positive and expeditious.
3.4.7.6.3. Unqualified (U): Control and instructions were not timely, clear or accurate,
causing a degraded or ineffective mission.

3.4.7.7. Area 127--Post Attack

fighters and appropriate agencies a concise report in accordance with the governing directives.

ordnance effects and/or made minor errors/omissions in rendering the report.
3.4.7.7.3. Unqualified (U): Did not accomplish a realistic assessment of the attack. Results
were grossly exaggerated/underestimated. Report contained major errors.

This PO will require you to patrol a Kill Box and eliminate any targets of opportunity. You
will be given a 2nd element of A-10Cs to help eliminate targets.

You must kill at least 3 targets (BMPs, Armor or Artillery) within the Kill Box to pass this
mission.

Do not engage targets outside the Kill Box as that will impact your Qualification rating.

Watch out for the MOA/Range boundary at the north end of the Kill Box. You are not permitted
to exit the MOA/Range without authorization.

We will be operating within a defined Military Operations Area (MOA) and using the Vaziani
Training Area and Firing Range (VTA).

The pattern altitude for landing is 2500' AGL.

The Hard Deck Restriction is in effect at 5000' AGL. Inside the VTA Range the Hard Deck
Restriction is lowered to 100' AGL.

The No Fire Zone Restriction has been terminated. Weapons release is now permitted in these
zones.

I'll be flying in an OH-58 Scout to record your comms and attack runs.

Good luck Airman!
