Profile V: Operational NOBLE EAGLE Scenario Profile Description: Elements will ramp start two combat loaded aircraft. The team will be graded on how fast they go from ramp start begin to rolling, to take off and then successful intercept. Timing will stop when the element intercepts the unknown aircraft/adversary and VID's. At VID pilots will report the adversary's physical or aircraft model description to their team observer. For non-fighter type aircraft a general description of type is sufficient. In this case pilots would ID as a tanker, AWACS, cargo, or bomber aircraft. For fighter type aircraft the basic model must be called out/ID'd. In this case pilots must ID aircraft as MiG-29, MiG-23, Su-25, F-15 etc. For any of the Su-27 family of aircraft (Su-27, Su-35, Su-37 etc), IDing as Su-27 is acceptable. This is also true of any aircraft that has similar varients. The goal for scoring is to time each pilots ramp start time, time from in the pit to in the air, time from in the pit to target intercept (defined as radar contact/lock within 30 miles) and total time from in the pit to actual target VID (Visual ID). The teams time will be the slowest timed pilot in each pahse. To facilitate this, timing for the first phase will not begin until everyone is in the pit. DO NOT begin your ramp start until all flight members call in the pit and the observer clears you to begin. Setting of any switches IS NOT allowed until the Observer clears you to begin. Ramp start timing begins at the observers direction and ends when you begin taxi. Consider "in pit" time as the same as when the ramp start begins. The in pit clock is a good reference to start timing for observers. I recommend starting on the minute. To get the time for the ramp as exact as possible the ACMI needs to be started immediately as the observer calls begin for the ramp start. Once you're cleared to start your first action needs to be starting the ACMI recording and then continue with the ramp start. MAKE SURE you call out taxi when ramp start is complete and you begin rolling. No cutting accross grass areas is allowed. Stay on the taxiways. ACMI will be reviwed for precise timing for when your jet starts rolling, but the call is important for the observer to get a good WAG on your time and be able to compare to the ACMI. Taxi and call out "Airborne" when your wheels break ground. The next timing phase ends when you have radar contact with the target within 30 miles. The final timing phase will end once you have acquired and VISUALLY ID the target. You must call in the physical or aircraft model description of the target to your observer to complete this profile. To get correct timing from ACMI you need to snap roll when you've ID'd the target BEFOR/AS you are calling in to the observer. Please do not forget to do this. Again, once you have ID'd the target snap roll and call in. Your snap roll will be assed on ACMI for time and compared to the actual call to the observer for final scoring. If you are not the first team member to visually ID the target, proceed and call in the description WHEN YOU ARE WITHIN VISUAL RANGE and have made the ID yourself. Remember that this is based on integrity. Please actually fly in and get a visual on the target before calling in. Also keep the target ID to yourself. You don't want other teams to know this before they fly this profile for obvious reasons.
Teams will need to set up an individual whisper key to the Observer for this profile. That's from
yourself to the Observer only, not your wingman. This will allow each pilot to make his own ID of the target
on their own. Observers will note the target ID by each pilot. If the ID is incorrect no points will be awarded/added
to the pilots/teams overall score.
