F/A-18C Hornet Self Guided Training Plan

This Training Guide is designed to give a guide in order learn the basic fundamentals and employment of the F/A-18C Hornet in DCS, in a self paced way.

The effectivness of this training guide is proportional to the quality of the effort you put into it. If you hold yourself to a high standard, you will come out a high skilled pilot. If you accept sloppiness and move on, you may not end up being the effective pilot you want to be. As with all of aviation, all of the skills, technique and knowledge shown in this pipeline is perishable, and if not practiced with some regularity will atrophy.

The Academics tab can be used to tick off concepts as you learn them. It shows you where you can find that subject matter in the documents listed below, as well as links to recommended YT Videos covering that subject.

Creating these manuals and guides are a labor of love and passion, but it doesn’t happen in a vacuum.  It takes a lot of time, patience and research and support from many people around me.  If you enjoy these manuals and they help you, they’ve accomplished exactly what they are designed to do. The Documents are free and always will be. You can put $0 and you will still get the document. But, if you feel like paying it forward and want to help me keep making these manuals and guides, it always appreciated but is not required.
