Extracted from an actual USAF F-16 handbook (MULTI-COMMAND HANDBOOK 11-F16, Vol.5):

2.2. Establishing Priorities

It is an acknowledged fact that during the heat of any mission, there are occasions when you can't do

everything in the time available. This requires assigning priorities (task prioritization). At the top of the

list are things you have to do—do them first. Lower on the list are things you'd like to do—do them later

when they don't interfere with the have-to-do things. Your list of have-to-do tasks should be established

long before you get near an airplane. Some basic top priority tasks are:

· Maintain aircraft control.

· Never hit the ground (or anything attached to it).

· Never hit anything in the air (i.e., your lead/wingman).

· Never run out of fuel.

· Never let anything shot from the ground or air hit your airplane.

er...yup, thanks for the info, good to know. <_<

:D

 

Siendo serios, el task priorization no es algo fácil de entrada, así que en el heat of any mission, ni te cuento... ;)

 

O sino pregúntale a Templar, que por andar sacando fotos en nuestro examen CR1, se estampó contra el suelo por no saber priorizar :xd:

 

EDIT: didn't realize we were on this forum, will try to translate it.

 

Speaking in silver, task priorization is not easy at the entrance, so, in the heat of any mission, i do not count you.

 

Or go ask Templar, who for walking taking pictures in our CR1 exam, get himself stamped to the ground for not knowing how to priorize.

It is needed for all future rookie F16 pilots to pass the next skill: go to the Warner Bros. amusement park in Madrid and ride 13 non stop times in the "Stunt Fall" while relating the whole Periodic Table of the Elements followed by the complete list of VOR and NDB needed to go from Keflavik to Bora-Bora via Gibraltar (AFB).
