RAF Fast Jet Training - Low Level North Wales.
Congratulations, you have made it to RAF Valley for fast jet training.
Get your map and stopwatch out. No GPS allowed.
Take a Hawk T Mk1 and fly the Mach Loop, then onto your assigned target at the north end of the lake. Recon photo shows your target to help you identify the target.
Can you meet the demands to be over the target within +/-10secs after flying at 420kts low level.
Transit the Mach Loop at 500ft AGL.
Keep an eye on the fuel, a Hawk burns 25kg/min at low level
RTB base, flight time 22minutes
Pass this check ride or you will be chopped and your dreams of being a fast jet pilot are over.
You might still get selected by a 2nd rate air force - try the USAF.
A Word document is included for flight planning purposes - time/distance and fuel calculations
August 23 Update
