section 1 Flashcards
what are stations 1 and 7 used for?
AME (alternate mission equip) up to 150lbs (including pylon)
max load on each wing?
1500lbs (including pylons)
what are the two A/G engagement methods?
autonomous = same aircraft that shoots guides remote = a/c that shoots is a mule
what is the interface in the GCS that configures, arms and releases weapons?
the SMS (stores managment system)
CAUTION: Failure to do this may result in degraded rack performance or lockup.
DGCS console loggers should be enabled when powering on or resetting the SMS
after the SMS display is up, how do you turn on the system?
Pay/Freq control –>SMS control menu –> SMS computer power
UNVRFD ( yellow background)
store is unverified
INVLD (red background)
verification process is complete and store type selected does not match store type recognized by scc
REL (green backgound)
master arm is armed, launch enable button and trigger have been depressed, aircraft is indicating it is in the wepon release process
AWAY ( green background)
store released
WARN (yellow background)
a degraded condition exists that does not preclude a normal release of a store
ERROR (red background)
fatal error occurred that precludes a normal release of a store
agm BIT (green background)
missile is running BIT
agm FAILED (red background)
missile has failed to release
agm READY (green background)
missile has passed BIT, power up sequence is complete, and PRF code has been acceped by launcher
agm IDLE (green background)
missile is verified but not powered
gbu READY (green)
weapon is ready for release
gbu JET (green)
store is in the process of being jettisoned
gbu JETTED (black)
store jettissoned
gbu HUNG (red)
store hung
what launcher does the AGM-114P use?
m299-p dual HF launcher
hellfire P+ (R guidance) missile must be configured as ?
Hellfire IIP missiles. (software will not accurately reflect R guidance, but will not impede the missile capes)
if inventory verification fails, due to PPDM fault, perform what w/in five minutes of fault?
inventory screen, select modify, restart inventory modification process
what type of pylon does the GBU-12 use?
BRU-15
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?
30
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
green outline HUD weapon icon
verified
green solid HUD weapon icon
selected for release
yellow outline HUD weapon icon
verified and weapon is degraded
yellow solid HUD weapon icon
weapon is degraded and selected for release
red outline HUD weapon icon
fatal error
red solid HUD weapon icon
failed to release
how is HAT calculated?
difference between a/c GPS altitude and target elevation input into SMS
where is the launch enable button?
forward right side button on throttle
what happens on a ripple release if you stop depressing trigger or launch enable before all stores have been released?
the ripple is aborted and the remaining stores will not be released
the BRU-15 bomb rack should not be exposed to OAT below?
-56C
the M299 launcher should not be exposed to OAT below?
-40C
at what temp will you see yellow warning “approaching hellfire OAT limit”?
-41C
what what temp will you see red warning “hellfire OAT limit exceeded”
