p.63
Is: “The drop of pressure prevents the fuel external tanks from being transferred to the internal tanks.”
Proposed 1: “The drop of pressure prevents the fuel from external tanks from being transferred to the internal tanks.”
Proposed 2: “The drop of pressure prevents the external tanks fuel from being transferred to the internal tanks.”
Reason: missing “from” or wrong word orderp.63
Is: “If the AAR door remains open for too long though the depressurized external tanks may create a trapped fuel situation as they contain fuel not being transferred into the main tanks.”
Proposed: “If the AAR door remains open for too long though, the depressurized external tanks may create a trapped fuel situation as they contain fuel not being transferred into the main tanks.”
Reason: punctuationp.104
Is: “In any case LADD in BMS is
not fully implemented.”
Proposed: “In any case LADD in BMS is not fully implemented.”
Reason: unnecessary line break in the middle of linep.115
Is: “Select Pupo-ri Naval Base in the target list and click on the first dock crane (yellow).”
Proposed: “Select Pupo-ri Naval Base Port in the target list and click on the first dock crane (yellow).”
Reason: the actual name in 2D is Pupo-ri Naval Pase Port.p.115
Is: “Select Pupo-ri Naval Base in the target list and click on the first dock crane (yellow). It will turn green in the list and the Recon window will show the selected crane in the center.”
Proposed: “Expand Pupo-ri Naval Base Port in the target list and click on the “Dock Crane” entry. The entry in the list will turn green and the Recon window will show the selected crane in the center - confirm it is the yellow crane.”
Reason: making it clearer what user should do and what is the outcomep.125
Is: “Since only two HARMs can be carried a second TE run need to be done focusing on the SA-4 battery using
the HTS pod and HAD page.”
Proposed: “Since only two HARMs can be carried, a second TE run needs to be done, focusing on the SA-4 battery using the HTS pod and HAD page.” or even better (to my taste): “Since only two HARMs can be carried, a second TE run, focusing on the SA-4 battery using the HTS pod and HAD page, needs to be done.”
Reason: missing “s” suffix in “TE run needs to be done” and punctuation/clause ordering proposal.p.125
Is: “Another targeting system is available only when the AN/ASQ-213 HTS (Harm Targeting System) pod is loaded on the left chin pylon: HAD (Harm Attack Display).”
Proposed: “Another targeting system is available only when the AN/ASQ-213 HTS (HARM Targeting System) pod is loaded on the left chin pylon: HAD (HARM Attack Display).”
Reason: HARM acronym should be in capitalsp.125
missing bullet points before:
SEAD (Suppression of Enemy Air Defenses).
DEAD (Destruction of Enemy Air Defenses).p.125
Bullet by “PPT 57: SA-2 (fixed) Fan Song missile guidance (‘2’)” has orange color instead of black.p.125
Is: “Before entering 3d, we will have a look at the DTC in 2d.”
Proposed: “Before entering 3D, we will have a look at the DTC in 2D.”
Reason: typo/consistency - 2Dp.128
Is: “4.35 introduced changes if the radar is not emitting:
If the radar is not emitting the missile will either FLEX (…), or GLIDE (…) or hit (…).”
Proposed: “4.35 introduced changes if the radar is not emitting: if the radar is not emitting the missile will either FLEX (…), or GLIDE (…) or hit (…).”
Reason: the line break seems unnecessary since we are enumerating options in a single line rather than in bulleted list.p.130
Is: “Should the missile be fired now it would go toward Steerpoint 4, activate its seeker at a defined range and look for radar emissions from a Fan Song or Spoon rest radar.”
Proposed: “Should the missile be fired now it would go toward Steerpoint 4, activate its seeker at a defined range and look for radar emissions from a Fan Song or Spoon Rest radar.”
Reason: “Spoon Rest” should be capitalizedp.130
In sentence: “The HARM missile is capable of Mach 3+ speeds, has a missile motor burn time of about 45 seconds and a range of up to 60 Nm in BMS. This is longer than any SAM engagement zone in Korea (the SA-10 is 50 Nm and the older SA-5 is 53 Nm).” there seems to be some weird long space between “missile” and “motor” and between “60 Nm” and “in BMS”.Dash-1 4.35
Change 3.00
p.127
Is: “Lead on the other hand has to ensure that the difference between the A/L and the F/R needle values do not exceed 600 Pounds each way.”
Proposed: “Lead, on the other hand, has to ensure that the difference between the A/L and the F/R needle values does not exceed 600 pounds each way.”
Reason: added punctuation around OTOH, decapitalized “pound”, corrected form of the auxiliary verb because it refers to the “difference” not to the “needle values”.p.128
Comma after “obviously” in first paragraph: “Obviously, the centre of gravity moves according to the way the aircraft is loaded.”
Comma after “in this way” in first paragraph: “In this way, fuel load and fuel transfer will greatly impact the centre of gravity position.”
Comma separating parenthetical clause: “The CG moves along two axes, depending on the load, and must remain within certain limits for the aircraft to remain controllable.”
Missing “as”: “In the same way as asymmetric weapon loadouts induce the heavy wings to drop, a fuel heavy wing will drop as well.”p.128
Is: “This CG longitudinal shift is much more subtle than left & right shift because it often goes unnoticed but may induce quicker departure at higher AOA, especially dangerous for aerobatics, approach and landing.”
Proposed: “This CG longitudinal shift is much more subtle than left & right shift, so it often goes unnoticed, but may induce quicker departure at higher AOA, especially dangerous for aerobatics, approach and landing.”
Reason: subtlety causes the longitudinal CG shift being unnoticed, not the other way round, so conjunction “so” is appropriate, not “because”; added commas separating independent clausesp.128
Is: “We can therefore define two types of imbalance and luckily the least dangerous one will probably happen before the more dangerous one, which will help you to correct it before it becomes serious.”
Proposed: “We can therefore define two types of imbalance and, luckily, the least dangerous one will probably happen before the more dangerous one, which will help you to correct it before it becomes serious.”
Reason: punctuationp.128
Is: “Since the left and right side empty first into the fuselage any kind of imbalance happening soon after take-off will probably induce a shift of the CG to the left or to the right, inducing a roll which can be neutralized with the aileron trim in the exact same way an asymmetrical loadout is compensated.”
Proposed: “Since the left and right sides empty first into the fuselage, any kind of imbalance happening soon after take-off will probably cause a shift of the CG to the left or to the right, inducing a roll, which can be neutralized with the aileron trim in the exact same way as an asymmetrical loadout is compensated.”
Reason: punctuation, missing “s” in “sides” -
Also, while reading Dash-34 about HARMs I noted places that could use some improvement, mostly stylistically. Since this turned out to be a lot of text, I opted to link to the file on Google drive. However, I can copy it here if you think it would be better.

Original sentence: “The left image shows the default NVG view. The right image shows the full screen option.”
Corrected sentence: “The left image shows the full screen option. The right image shows the default NVG view."The caption below the images is reversed. Alternatively, leave the caption as is and invert the order of the images.
