AoA indicator question.

[98abaile]

What are the indicated portions for? I'm guessing the one at 20 units AoA is for landing, but what are the other 2?

I got this from the A-10A manual, which appears to be valid for the C:

 

Reference marks are provided as follows:

 

At 15.6 scale units a rectangular maximum range index; at 17.5 scale units a triangular maximum endurance index; at 20.0 scale units a T-shaped approach index;

 

Figures refer to the centre of each band.

AoA for cruising: 15-16

AoA for maximum endurance: 17-18 (may come in handy for loitering)

AoA for landing approaches: 19-20-21
