Low Level Navigation & Pop-Up Attacks
You will navigate at low level using terrain masking, execute a pop-up attack on a defended target, and egress without getting shot down.
About this lesson
Low-level flying is intense and pop-up attacks add weapons delivery on top. Your tutor plans the route with you, coaches terrain masking and timing, and debriefs each attack run.
Why a human tutor? Low-level pop-ups are timing-critical and disorienting. A tutor coaches your energy management and target acquisition under pressure.
