Use in lessons:
In the Dog Fight training of the recruits against Maverick networked communication is used a lot to send information between the rookies and their wingman, working together as much as possible to take down Maverick. Maverick himself use these communications to give hints, taunts, and lectures to the Rookies.
Emergency Communications:
During the final mission of the movie networked communications are used extensively between the pilots and the Carrier to warn others of incoming danger or to report their own current situation. This helps in keeping a functional and efficient team in pressure. Maverick instructing orders on the formation, the team reporting the location of the SAMs around them, the Carrier confirming if the target was hit, are some examples of network communications
