Buddy Spike Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 No love for the herbivores? Have tanker pilots started GLOC'ing in the tanker track and running jets into the dirt recently?Or strafing after getting tail numbers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Techsan Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 Maybe not GLOC, but falling asleep after eating a hot pizza out of the oven, while orbiting in the anchor...or while watching movies while in orbit. That shit can kill you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matmacwc Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 Or helping to find a Viper driver after he ditched in the Pacific. This wouldn't have helped that. It's coming to a Viper near you next year from what I hear at our test center. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dupe Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 (edited) What is auto GCAS? GCAS is Ground Collision Avoidance System. Its a system where the aircraft recovers itself if the computer thinks its going to pack it into the dirt. The systems I've seen are based on DTED (computer-stored terrain data). A few variations have been tested at Edwards over the years in the Viper. I'm not sure if its in the plan for the F-35. There's obvious discussion on when you do/don't want it and what margin(s) between dirt and auto recovery you want.
