Maintaining visual contact with your opponent is the single most critical skill in a dogfight. This quiz tests whether you understand the techniques fighter pilots use to keep tally, what happens when you lose sight, and how to recover the situation. Covering padlock vision, check turns, defensive manoeuvres after losing tally, and the psychology of visual tracking, these questions separate the situationally aware from the soon-to-be-shot-down.

What you'll be tested on

  • Techniques for maintaining visual contact
  • Actions when losing sight of the bandit
  • Check turns and defensive manoeuvres
  • Visual scanning patterns and padlock
  • Situational awareness in the merge
