Workshop 11: Datalink & SA

In this session, we cover the following topics:

• Understanding the MIDS Datalink Link 16 and IFF system,
• Understanding the Situational Awareness display,
• Discussion on general situational awareness,
• Discussion on current wartime theater temperament changes,
• Discussion on updated radio frequencies,
• Pilot Proficiency Demonstration,
• Discuss next sessions homework

Course Prerequisites:
– Watch “DCS: F/A-18C Hornet – Throttle Designator Controller“
– Watch “Datalink and Situational Awareness”
– Watch “SA Page, Pilot Identification (PLID)”
– Watch “DCS: F/A-18C Hornet – A/A Waypoint and BRA Calls”

Note: As we continue our path of learning the F-18, each workshop includes a little more realism. You will need to manage comm frequencies for the various BLUE assets. EASY COMMS remains enabled, but your radios for those assets will change to that frequency!
