Describe the rocket steering cues.
What causes a “PYLON LIMIT” message to be displayed in the Weapons Inhibit Field of the HAD? Is it a safety or performance limit? If it can be overridden, how?
The commanded pylon position exceeds the articulation limit of +4 to -15 in the air.
Performance limit
second detent on weapons trigger.
What does the “TYPE SELECT” message in the Weapons Inhibit Field of the HAD indicate?
No rocket type is selected, while multiple rocket types are available.
What does the “ACCEL LIMIT” displayed in the weapons inhibit field of the HAD indicate? Is this a safety or performance inhibit?
Vertical acceleration is less than 0.5 Gs and may cause the main rotor blades to obstruct rocket trajectories.
Safety Inhibit.
Is use of the MK66 MOD 2 rocket motor authorized?
NO.
Maximum range for the MK66 motor is:

When firing illumination rockets, the rocket motor will continue _____ to ______ meters beyond the target.
700 to 1200 meters
Upon aircraft power-up, RKT power-up or after deselecting REFUEL-REARM, how will rocket zone assignment be determined?
Settings on the maintance load panel.
May PYLON LIMIT be overridden by depressing the trigger to the second detent?
In the air, yes, on the ground, no.
IAW the JFIRE, danger close for an M151 rocket fired at 1500m is_____ meters.
305 meters.
