German Forces 1940's Pilot Master Guide
Note for this guide: Before reading, note the difference between 'Luftwaffe'
and the 'Air Force.' There are a few sub-divisions within the Luftwaffe, but
only the Air Force can pilot planes.
---------------
Section I
Chain of Command
Luftwaffe Commanding Officer: SayianLanister
Air Force Commanding Officer: Nakedkitty
Kampfgeschwader 200 Commanding Officer: MakerOfTheUniverse

Section II
Acceptance into the Air Force
Acceptance into the Air Force is reserved to the discretion of the Luftwaffe
Commanding Officer and the Air Force Commanding Officer. You must already
be in the Luftwaffe prior to trying out. Air Force tryouts, due to their
extensiveness and there only being a few pilot slots, are held for a small class
of 2-5 participants. Talk to the Air Force Commanding Officer for a tryout.
Acceptance into the Kampfgeschwader 200 (KG)
Acceptance into the KG is reserved to the discretion of the Luftwaffe
Commanding Officer and the KG Commanding Officer. You must already be in the
Luftwaffe prior to trying out. Talk to the KG Commanding Officer for a tryout.

Section III
Takeoff/Landing/Flight Procedure
Takeoff:
A strict procedure and code is to be abided by and maintained by all pilots. You
must have a viable reason for taking off.
When taking off:
1. Gain Permission from an officer.
2. Check the local airspace and runway for any planes.
3. When clear, tax your plane slowfully and carefully onto the runway.
4. Confirm the runway is clean of obstacles, then takeoff.
Flight Procedure:
1. Pilots should constantly remain aware of their surroundings.
2. 100% speed should never be necessary, except for evasive maneuvers and high
altitude dogfights.
3. Pilots should never descend below 90 altitude. (Unless doing low altitude
drills with permission.) Pay attention to your altimeter.
4. Pilots should NEVER fly recklessly, flying safe and up high will get you more
attention than doing fancy tricks at low altitudes. Fly safe, responsibly, and
carefully.
Landing Procedure:
1. Touching down can be the most dangerous part of flying, so be
certain the runway is clear. Perform one flyby of the runway, to confirm no planes
are taking off, or getting ready to do so.
2. After confirming a clear runway, swing back around and align yourself with
the runway. (You should be coming to land at almost minimal speed.) Descend,
touch down, and decelerate.
3. Tax your plane to it's spawn, or respawn it for the next pilot.

Section IV
Formations
All pilots are required to understand and perform these few formations:
Kette Formation: In Kette formation, all pilots will form a 'V' shape on the flight
leader. All planes will give about two plane lengths space between each plane.
With the flight leader spearheading the V, all other pilots will fall in behind, and
to either side, of the flight leader. Thus creating a V, the Kette formation.
(Kette Links, Kette Recht) After a Kette formation has been formed, the flight
leader may call "Kette Links" or "Kette Recht." On Kette Links, all pilots formed
to the right of the flight leader will move left, thus a one sided '/' will be formed. On Kette Recht, all pilots formed to the left will move to the right, forming a '\' shape. As previously stated; two plane lengths will be given between aircraft.
Column Formation: In column formation, all planes will form a single line behind
the flight leader. This is the flying equivalent of the 'SFL' command. Two plane
lengths will be given between aircraft.
Line Formation: In Line formation, all planes will be side by side horizontally,
with the flight leader in the middle. This is the flying equivalent of the 'STS'
command. As always, two plane lengths will be given between aircraft.

Section V
Trainings and Scoring System
Pilot Trainings
German Forces pilots must be an example to not only German Forces, but to any
group, so extensive trainings are held to maintain these standards.
1. Pilots will begin training with a short review of face and rifle commands. Pilot
trainings are focused on aerial skills, so there will be no obby or TDM.
2. Every pilot will perform a practice drop with the Junker 52. The other pilots
will jump in the place of Fallschirmjagers. The DZ and altitude is subject to
change on the discretion of the jump leader.
3. Every pilot will take part in bombing runs. With the Ju87 Stuka, every pilot
will do a run on the range. Whether runs are done individually, or in formation,
is up to the host.
4. Every pilot will take part in strafe runs. With the Me-109, every pilot will do a
strafe run on the range. Whether runs are done individually, or in formation, is
up to the host.
5. Pilots will now take part in perhaps the most exciting part of the training, the
dogfight. Dogfights will of course be performed in the Me-109. Once all pilots
are in the air, the 'begin' signal will be given and a Free-For-All dogfight will
commence. The winner will receive a point on the scoreboard. A minimum of three
will be held per training. (Read "Scoring System.") If there is an even number of
pilots, a team dogfight can happen. The surviving members of one team, if there
are more than one, will all receive a point on the scoreboard.
After the conclusion of the dogfight, the training is over. Promotions may be
given, and the pilots will be dismissed.
Scoring System
The pilot scoring system works accordingly: At pilot trainings, an elimination
dogfight will be held. All pilots will dogfight until killed or disabled. The last one in the air will recieve a single point, which will be kept on a board by the Air Force Commanding Officer. At least three eliminations will be held per pilot training. The last pilot flying must have shot down at least one plane during the dogfight to be eligible to score a point.
