One thing I thought about because my SA is very bad - activating labels for a few flights in order to get a feeling for distances and behaviour.
I didn’t do it yet, but everytime I got shot because of lost SA, I think again about it. If I look at the FCR and see 7 contacts in front of me, I’m too slow to check them all. Meanwhile a missile is already inbound.
So not only to get a feeling regarding behaviour and distances, but also about speed and dimensions.
Another example of this is speed/height/distance units. At the beginning I was always calculating kts to km/h, nm to km, ft to m - but converting units is totally senseless - you have to get a feeling on how the plane behaves and how close you are to the floor on 1000ft, 150’ 200’.
You need to know how the airframe behaves at 140 kcas, 350 kcas, and you have to get a feeling about how many seconds it takes to run 20nm.
Not realistic either, but I think I will really do it for a few flights
