Answer 5

300 to 1000, 1.5 to 2K (ATM 4-148)

Question 6

Describe the four T’s

Answer 6

Target, Torque, Trim Target (3-04.3 page 12-9)

Question 7

Techniques for applying burst on target include ____________, ____________________, and ______ methods.

Answer 7

Recognition (KY windage), MIL rad, Laser (3-04.3 para 12-54)

Question 8

What are the three types of pull-off per dATM?

Answer 8

Descending, Level, Climbing (ATM task 4-149)

Question 9

What is the purpose of a Pull-Off?

Answer 9

The pull-off is employed to enable attack helicopter the safest possible departure from the target area. (ATM pg 4-149)

Question 10

What are the benefits of the bump technique?

Answer 10

Maximize advantage of run, dive (ATM 4-148)

Question 11

Describe the mil-relationship method of burst on target.

Answer 11

Fire a burst at the target.  Sense the impacts of the rounds and measure distance between mean point of impact (MPI) and the target using the sight symbology.
 Using the known milliradian values (see appendix E) determine weapon impact distance from the target in range and deflection.
 Make an appropriate change the range and azimuth settings and adjust the desired mean point of impact (DMPI).
 Continue engagement (3-04.3 page 12-8)

Question 12

Why is target fixation a problem?

Answer 12

Target fixation may cause a pilot to fly the aircraft into the ground. Therefore, the crew must use a careful crosscheck and adhere to an appropriate minimum altitude to avoid a hazardous flight condition. High rates of descent, coupled with high flight-path speeds, require pilot to closely monitor the rate of closure with the terrain. (3-04.3 page 12-11

Question 13

Which firing technique is used in a medium to high threat environment?

Answer 13

Bump Technique (12-2 TC 3-04.3 pg 12-2)
