Startup:
The model is set to initialize on the ground with engines running, parking brake on, flaps up, canopy closed.
Configuring for takeoff:
Set flaps to full, release parking brake (runway launch) or engage launch bar (carrier launch). Note: for light weight takeoff use flaps half.
Takeoff:
Full throttle. For carrier launch activate catapult. For runway launch rotate at 150 knots. When airborne raise gear and set flaps to half. At 200 knots set flaps up.
Climb:
To save fuel, come out of afterburner at 350 knots. Climb at 400 knots then 0.9 Mach.
Descent:
Idle power, speedbrakes as necessary.
Configuring for landing:
Gear and flaps down below 250 knots. Retract speedbrakes. Hook down for arrested landing.
Final approach:
AOA on speed (about 140-150 knots). RPM about 85%. Descent rate about 700 fpm.
Field landing:
Throttle idle. Deploy drag chute. Brakes as required. Release drag chute when clear of runway.
Deck landing:
When stopped: Raise hook, fold wings, open canopy, raise flaps, follow marshaller's signals.
