A rate of 400-450 knots is appropriate when turning a fighter. Attempting this at
higher speeds will cause the aircraft to stall and may result in a black out (see
p.17). Maintaining control of the aircraft will become impossible.
Speed decreases while ascending and turning, and increases while descending.
Careful adjustments to the throttle are necessary to maintain consistent speed.

Learn how to control a fixed wing craft. For fuller details and an
opportunity to practice basic aviation techniques and a variety of
maneuvers, aim to complete the TRAINING as detailed on p.23.
Fixed Wing Craft Basic Operation
The aircraft’s pitch is controlled by the left
analog stick VC. Pulling the stick backwards
(
V) will raise the nose, and pushing the stick
forward (C) will lower it.
Controlling Pitch
The left analog stick also controls steering. Drop
the stick in the direction you wish to turn and bank
the aircraft 30-45 degrees. Center the stick when
at the necessary angle. Pulling back gently
on the stick will cause the aircraft to turn
naturally. Minor adjustments to course can
be performed with the rudder by pressing
the
Q and E buttons, which is also used
to control direction when taxiing.
Changing Direction
Speed is measured in knots (nautical miles per
hour). Press the A button to increase engine
output and raise the speed. When the output is
at 100%, press the
A button to engage the
afterburners if present. Press the S button to
reduce engine output and lower speed. The
airbrakes should also be employed when
landing by pressing the directional button
C.
Controlling Speed

BASIC OPERATION
While hovering (holding one
position and altitude), pulling the
left analog stick ZXwill allow
lateral horizontal flight.
BASIC OPERATION
For the first time in this series, helicopter piloting and training can be
performed allowing you to advance your skills to a new level. Control of a
helicopter is very different to that of a fixed wing aircraft so careful training
is imperative.
Rotary Wing Craft (Helicopter) Control
To perform vertical take-off and landing maneuvers, the jet nozzles must
be switched to VTOL Mode.
VTOL Mode: Vertical Take-Off and Landing possible.
STOL Mode: Short Take-Off possible.
Special Aircraft Controls:VTOL/STOL
Adjustments to altitude are made by raising or
lowering the collective. To takeoff or climb, press
the A button to sharpen the rotor blade angle and
increase output and lift. To descend, press the S
button to reduce the output from the main rotor.
Whether in climb or descent, watch the
statoscope carefully as you adjust the collective.
Adjusting Altitude
To increase speed,
lean the aircraft at a
stronger angle in the
direction you are
heading using the left
analog stick. To reduce
speed, lean in the
opposite direction. Pay
close attention to the
airspeed indicator.
Adjusting Speed
In order to turn left or right during
horizontal flight, pull the left analog
stick in the direction you wish to
turn. Careful adjustments to pitch,
roll and the main rotor output is
necessary to maintain consistent
altitude, speed and turn. Sudden
dramatic adjustments will cause
flight to become unstable, so
sensitive control is essential.
Changing direction
To rotate the aircraft horizontally you will need
to adjust the power output from the tail rotor.
Press the
Q and E buttons to rotate the
aircraft left or right. Horizontal turning has a
proportionate effect on the power output from
the main rotor, so take care not to turn too
quickly. Turning can also affect the pitch angle
of the aircraft making flight unstable, so make
careful adjustments to the cyclic to keep it level.
Hovering T urn
When piloting a helicopter, forward thrust is
produced by adjusting the cyclic to lower the
pitch of the aircraft. Likewise, raising the pitch will
create reverse thrust. The cyclic is
controlled using the left analog stick. Push
the left analog stick forwards (
C) to lower
the nose and the craft will start to advance.

This game makes available a wide variety of weapons. Different
situations require different tactical solutions so choose your weapons
installations carefully.
Weapons and Customization
When the G level is too extreme, it can cause
problems for both the pilot and the aircraft.
Horizontal flight gives a reading of 1G, and
horizontal flight upside down gives a reading
of –1G. High speed flight, rapid changes in
direction and increasing or decreasing of
altitude causes G to increase with the
following consequences.
G (Acceleration) and Flight Problems
After choosing an aircraft in the SELECT
FIGHTER screen, appropriate weapon sets are
displayed for selection. Sets available will vary
depending on the aircraft. Use the directional
buttons to select the weapon set required and the
S button to confirm. Heavy weapons have an
adverse effect on the aircraft’s performance and
maneuverability, which is particularly noticeable
when turning. Avoid carrying more weaponry than
is necessary for the given situation.
Customizing Weapons
Depending on the mode, press the SELECT button to customize the weapons
array (see p.21).
Observe the movement of enemy aircraft and the paths of bullets to evade
machine gun fire. With SRM missiles, the lock-on can be cancelled by
changing your angle of flight relative to the enemy aircraft. Flying at high
speed and altitude can cause missiles to lose the trail. The release of chaff
or flares followed by a sudden change in direction is also a highly effective
evasive maneuver.
Depending on the type of missile launched, chaff and flares used to distract the
missile targeting are released automatically.

SCRAMBLE
When the required level has been reached in TRAINING (see p.25), you
will acquire the qualification to be mobilized for scramble missions.
A scramble is an urgent deployment of fighters to engage enemy aircraft in
response to an invasion of airspace. Missions cannot be selected from the
menu, but can arise during a game at any time without warning. When a
scramble is mobilized, you must takeoff immediately in the aircraft you have
prepared in the alert hangar. Different missions require different tactics, so
choose your craft carefully. In the event that a mission requires a different
aircraft with special features, this will be prepared ready on the airfield.
GO/CANCEL
FLIGHT
On receiving the call to scramble, you will immediately
be mobilized from the alert hangar. The controller will
issue instructions en route.
REPLAY
Watch a replay of the flight. See p.28 for playback controls.
DEBRIEFING

If an unknown aircraft invades airspace, it may
be necessary to take photographs. The first
step is to approach the target aircraft. In
ADVANCED mode you will also need to select
between weapons and camera. You have a
total of three exposures with no refills, so use
exposures sparingly. A higher rating is achieved
if photographs are close up and from a variety
of angles. Control the camera angle with the
right analog stick and use the
D button to
operate the shutter.
Photos can only be taken from Cockpit/Behind/
Front views.
Photography
Fire shots near the aircraft that have invaded
your airspace. Because these are for warning
purposes only, care must be taken to ensure
that the shots do not reach the enemy target.
Position yourself within .1nm of the enemy
target and fire a burst of machine gun rounds at
an angle no greater than 10 degrees from the
target. In ADVANCED mode you will need to
select GUN using the
W button.

ARCADE MODE TRAINING
Aim to become an ace pilot and take up the challenge of pilot training. It’s
vital that you become accustomed to basic piloting techniques before
attempting more challenging missions.
The course is broken down into 9 Stages. Once you have met the
requirements of each Stage you can progress to the next. Each Stage
contains a series of Steps that allows you to gradually progress and
expand your skills. Training requires patience and repetition, so try to
master each step before moving on to the next.
Training Stages
Select an aircraft, make a sortie and challenge missions in sequence.
This is a good place to start for those that wish to get airborne and experience
the thrills of scramble missions as quickly a possible. Choices of aircraft,
weapons and missions are limited, so for a greater challenge aim to complete
the TRAINING (see p.23) and work through the more advanced flight modes.
NG
SCORE
If you fail to clear a round in the specified time, or your
aircraft is destroyed, the status will be NG and you will return
to the start of the round. After three NGs the game will end.
Increases with each enemy destroyed. Atime score is
also awarded based on the time remaining at the end of
each round.
HUD
The standard Heads Up Display. See p.8 for a
detailed explanation.
In ARCADE MODE only, missiles and machine gun rounds are unlimited.

Take-Off Training, the aircraft is positioned on the runway at a standstill.
With Steps that begin mid-flight, details of the altitude, airspeed and
bearing will be outlined.
In the earlier stages, a diagram of the controller
will be displayed together with an explanation
of controls. At this time, instruments that must
be monitored carefully will also be highlighted.
During the training, keep a close eye on the
instruments in accordance with instructions.
All explanations have assumed use of the DUALSHOCK®2 analog
controller and a difficulty level of NORMAL.
Scores start at 100 and points are deducted for each mistake made. 60
points are required to pass each Step.
Scoring
First select the Stage and Step of the training
you wish to undertake. On your first attempt
you will only be able to select TAKE-OFF in the
PRIMARY piloting stage, but as you progress,
more advanced stages will become available.
Stage Select
This is your opportunity to take control of the
aircraft and attempt to fly in accordance with
instructions. During flight, your instructor will
remind you of the directions and warn you if you
begin to deviate. In the event that your aircraft
crashes, or your flight differs substantially from
instructions, the training will end. Remember
also that each Step has a time limit.
Flight
Here you can watch an instant replay of your flight. This is a very useful
reference for checking your flight techniques. There are a variety of replay
controls to help you make the most of this facility. Use the directional
buttons to select and the
S button to enter.
Replay
Pay close attention to the instructions given by
your captain who will explain each element of
the step. While listening to the explanation,
pressing the
F button will fast-forward to the
next instruction. You can listen to the
explanation as many times as you like, so
make sure you understand fully before
attempting the drill.

Once you have developed your skills in TRAINING (see p.23), the AERO
MEET 2002 competition mode will help you gain real mission experience.
The contest is broken down into 4 main categories. As with TRAINING,
each category contains a series of missions, and by fulfilling the conditions
of each while attaining the required amount of points you can progress to
the next.

useful when evaluating your aviation skills.
Check your score and flight time. 5 course
records are stored for each step. Score higher
than 60 to clear the Step and progress onto the
next. Please remember that 60 points is the
minimum required to pass, and that to become
a skilled pilot you will need to practice each
Step honing your techniques and aiming for a
perfect score. As your skill advances, you will
be awarded qualifications to fly different kinds
of aircraft through more advanced drills.

F.A.Q.
40
Q1 Is it possible to evade missiles?
A1 Yes. The way to evade them will vary depending on the missile type.
a) In the case of air-to-air short-range missiles (SRM), it is the target’s exhaust
heat that they home in on. To evade this kind of missile you will need to use
a flare. Aflare is a heat source released from the aircraft that burns at a high
temperature and distracts the heat sensors in the missile. Performing a
Barrel Roll maneuver immediately following release is very effective. If there
is a heat source greater than the flare nearby, the effect of distraction will be
lost, so use of afterburners should be avoided.
b) Medium Range Missiles (MRM) are guided by semi-active radars. Using
wave emissions, they are able to track the location of aircraft, so evasion is
best performed with chaff. Chaff are small particles of material such as
aluminum foil that reflect radar waves and distract the targeting system.
Many missiles once launched however cannot be successfully evaded, so
aim to keep out of enemies’ flight paths and prevent the missiles from
locking on.
In this game, flares and chaff are automatically selected and released to counter
incoming missiles. Try to time the release with an evasive maneuver.
Q2 My missile didn’t hit the enemy. Why?
A2 The most likely reasons are:
a) The steering circle of missiles is limited, so depending on the angle they’re
launched from they may overshoot the target. By positioning the aircraft so
the steering dot is inside the steering circle, you can greatly improve the
chances of a successful hit.
b) Missiles only have a few seconds of thrust after which they coast towards the
target. If the target is too far, it may be out of the missile range.
Q3 Why can’t I select weapons during flight?
A3 From OPTIONS:FLIGHT SETTINGS (see p.37) set WEAPON SELECTION to
MANUAL. You can then switch weapons using the
W button.
Q4 The AV-8B is very difficult to control. How do I fly it?
A4 First, practice the VTOL stage of TRAINING. When turning, make careful
adjustments to keep the craft level. When maneuvering at high altitudes, try not
to lose height. If too many weapons are installed, it may not be possible to take
off vertically. In this case it is advisable that you change the weapons
installation. The aircraft can be made much easier to land by setting COCKPIT
to OFF in the OPTIONS:VIEW menu (see p.38).
Q5 How do you hold the helicopter level when hovering?
A5 When hovering (holding one position and altitude), you will need to pay
attention to the following.
a) Airspeed: Make sure this is at zero. As the display only shows forwards and
reverse airspeeds, it will continue to show zero if the aircraft is moving
sideways, so take care.
b) Lean: Carefully adjust the cyclic to keep the aircraft level using the left

analog stick. In the case of the AH-64D, the rotor shaft is angled slightly
forwards, so raise the pitch a little above zero to maintain position. If the
pitch is kept level, the aircraft will not move.
Until you’re accustomed to operating the helicopter, set FLIGHT (ROT ARY W)
to STAND ARD in OPTIONS:FLIGHT SETTINGS.
Q6 Why aren’t aircraft that have been enabled appearing in aircraft selection?
A6 Depending on the mode and location, aircraft selection may be limited. See the
DAT ABANK (p.35) to confirm the aircraft available for use. Always save game
data after new aircraft are enabled, or you will not be able to use them after you
restart the game.
Q7 I can’t hit the balloons even though they’re straight ahead of me. What am I
doing wrong?
A7 Even when the target is straight ahead, you will not be able to attack if the
reticle or container is not being displayed. Pay close attention to the following:
a) When WEAPON SELECTION is set to MANUAL in OPTIONS:FLIGHT
SETTINGS, you will have to choose appropriate weapons depending on the
location of targets.
b) When more than one target is locked on to, you will need to select the
correct one using the
F button. The presently selected target will be
displayed inside a larger Container.
c) Weapons cannot be fired unless the target is within firing range.
d) Certain factors such as the flight condition of your own aircraft and the flight
angle of the target may prevent weapons from being fired. Try adjusting your
altitude, speed, angle and G levels.
Q8 When I lower the throttle, why does the aircraft sometimes start to fly backwards?
A8 Some aircraft such as the C-1, TND and US-1 have a function known as a
Thrust Reverser. This is particularly useful for reducing speed prior to landing,
and can be used for reverse flight. In this game, thrust reversers are controlled
by pressing the
S button when engine output is at zero
When the thrust reverser is in use, the engine output display will flash.
Q9 Why can’t I take off after landing on some surfaces?
A9 Taking off from surfaces other than a dedicated runway may not be possible
due to the weight of the aircraft causing the wheels to partially sink.
Q
10
Why does the helicopter continue to tilt and move by itself while hovering?
A
10
To counter the torque produced by having a single main rotor, the tail rotor
produces thrust in the opposite direction. It’s because of this rear rotor that the
aircraft tends to naturally lean. While hovering, make careful adjustments to the
tilt to keep it balanced.
