Weave

The Weave strategy is a horizontal plane strategy in which the aircraft flies a sinusoidal heading The direction that the aircraft is pointing.. Set the initial Heading change to define the direction in which the aircraft will begin the pattern. The Max Number of Cycles property defines the number of times that the aircraft will fly the pattern, returning to the original heading each time. The Maximum Projected Distance property defines the maximum ground distance that the aircraft will travel while performing the weave cycles.

Control Limits

Select a method to define the control limits (which constrain performance) of the aircraft during the maneuver.

Field Description
Use Accel Perf Model

Use the control limits specified in the current acceleration performance model.

Specify Min Turn Radius The minimum radius of a turn arc that the aircraft can perform.
Specify Max Turn Rate

The maximum rate at which the aircraft can turn.

Specify Max Horiz Accel The maximum acceleration, in the horizontal plane, that the aircraft can achieve.
