Flight Preparation or 'Battle Admin' is essential to successful mission participation

All too often co-operative flying activities with multiple members are spoiled by one individual who seems to think that its OK to waste everyone elses time, simply because they are ill prepared.

DON'T BE THAT GUY

• Do NOT rock up late
• do NOT just rock up right on time.
• Arrive EARLY

Give yourself a good 10<20 minutes (depending on the intracacies of your setup) to confirm and validate that all systems are working properly

perform if you will a complete mission rehearsal, prior to the mission start time:

• Start DCS (make sure its up to date at least 30 minutes prior to mission start time, depending on your download speed, in case you need to update)
• log into the 229 server (to make sure your mods are enabled and working)
• get in an aircraft (perform startup and check your radios are working)

• perform MANDATORY radio check with another member to ensure SRS is working

• fly a few circuits (make sure all your button mappings are functioning)
• test fire your weapons etc. (leave absolutely nothing to chance)
