Climb:
- After takeoff raise gear and falps very quickly
- Lower thrust to full military (no afterburners)
- Maintain reasonable pitch, speed
- Turn slightly to leave space for the following aircraft
Flight / Maneuver:
- Start turns at 250-400KIAS (Knots indicated airspeed)
- Watch Angles of attack AoA, g's, and decreasing speed
- Ignite afterburners for short accelerations
- Keep an eye on the Fuel gauge frequently
- Gently with the stick on the beginnings
Weapon usage (armed version):
- Switch one DDI display to Radar
- Switch second DDI display to Weapons console (WPN)

- Lower tailhook in case of carrier landing
- Correct landing speeds are weight dependent. You find them on
