It is Quick Climb Friday
It is Quick Climb Friday at RAF Lakenheath and the F-35's taxi via Sierra. The pilot requests an 'Unrestricted Climb' which not only was it cleared, but a term that we don't always hear as it is usually 'Quick Climb'. We had a funny feeling something different was about to happen with this quick climb...well, here it is!
The F-35A's are flown by two combat-ready squadrons at RAF Lakenheath, the 493d Fighter Squadron 'Grim Reapers' and the 495th Fighter Squadron 'Valkyries'.
So what is a Quick Climb/Unrestricted Climb?
Unlike the Typhoon which accelerates vertically after 9 seconds from brakes to take off, aircraft such as the F15E or F35A will usually clear the whole runway maintaining an altitude anywhere between 40-100ft with speeds of around 320mph and then pull the aircraft vertically or near vertical to quickly climb to the aircraft's cruising altitude. It is more commonly requested by the pilot as a "quick climb" more usual.
Why do they do Unrestricted climbs/PTOs/Quick climbs
There are many reasons such as clearing airspace barriers, short runways, to burn fuel before air-to-air refuelling or just to get to a destination quicker. But these are just a few reasons, one also could be to impress the Ted Coningsby Squadron...oooohhhh yeahhhhh!
What is a 'local climb'?
This is your standard departure, just a simple take-off
The F-35A is the U.S. Air Force’s latest fifth-generation fighter. It will replace the U.S. Air Force’s aging fleet of F-16 Fighting Falcons and A-10 Thunderbolt II’s, which have been the primary fighter aircraft for more than 20 years, and bring with it an enhanced capability to survive in the advanced threat environment in which it was designed to operate. With its aerodynamic performance and advanced integrated avionics, the F-35A will provide next-generation stealth, enhanced situational awareness, and reduced vulnerability for the United States and allied nations.
