Perfectly

should you leave Hellfire missile powered on for extended duration?

no, this may decrease reliability

what is the default release order of a ripple AGM-114 employment?

6-2, 2-1, 6-1, 2-2

ripple release of 4 GBU's have a default release order of ?

2, 6, 3, 5

what is the lowest value when setting ripple interval parameters for the AGM-114

minimum is 0, but do not set a value lower than 1 sec

max interval for ripple AGM?

8 sec

min interval for ripple GBU?

.3 sec

max interval for ripple GBU?

default interval for AGM?

2 sec

default interval for GBU?

.3 sec

what type of PRF codes are used with the HF missle?

even parity

how is a GBU fuze acivated during launch?

the pilot selects the appropriate fuze (nose, tail or nose/tail) to determine which solenoids retain their lanyard and acitvate the respective fuze

who sets the PRF code for the bomb?

the load crew on the ground

does the pilot have to set the PRF code into the sms for a GBU?

no, only informational (in the event of a hand-off to another GCS)

is the manual run in course ref'd to true or magnetic north?

true

what does CCRP stand for?

continuously computed release point

what does DPI stand for?

designated point of impact

true false; entering A/G mode will deselect a store for selective jettison and vice versa?

true, they are mutually exclusive

does the Master Arm have to be on to selectively jettison ?

yes

how do you turn on weapons graphics?

display control --> HUD Flt Graphics control --> HUD graphics declutter --> A/G mode on/off --> weapons graphics on/off

what does turning on weapons graphics display on the HUD?

HAT, Master Arm status, timr to release (TTR), range to target, time to impact, steering line, and weapon icons

how is ground range for the Range to Target on a AGM-114 displayed

staple; displyed in ground range in meters

what does top of staple indicate?

max release range +2 kilometers

what does bottom of staple indicate?

1 kilo beyond min release range

what does the range-to-target indicator look like?

a right facing caret; displays ground range from a/c to tgt in hundreds of meters

how is the GBU range to target scale different from the AGM?

displayed in nautical miles

how is range to target indicator displayed for GBU?

right facing caret; ground range from a/c to DPI in nautical miles

how is HAT calculated to be displayed w/ weapons graphics?

computed difference between a/c GPS altitude and tgt Digital Terrain Elevation Data (DTED)

when AGM's are selected, what does TTR represent?

time it will take for the a/c to overfly the coords of the selected tgt

what does TTR represent when employing GBU's?

moment for optimum release

what does range to target indicate when employing AGM's?

ground range from a/c to tgt in meters

range to target during GBU delivery?

ground range from a/c to the DPI in nm

prior to release/ launch, what does the time to impact timer display?

predicted time of flight

true false: Because Hellfire P+ (R guidance) missile must be configured as IIP's, TOF and TOI may not be accurate.

True. Utilize most current version of R Missile Impact Tool to determine accurate release settings
