CCRP line logic

[Neon67]

Hi guys

 

I am bit unsure about the CCRP for this aircraft, normally for A10, F16 and perhaps F18, you have to put your fpm on the line by flying in direction of the line.

Here with the av8, the line will get in the middle with you get your wings level, but it does not really take into acount the lateral displacement. And it also inverted, you have to fly in the opposite direction it seems. So the actual tactic would be to first place the FPM on the target, and then go for a level flight. But as soon as you lose visual contact of the target in the hud, its a bit guess and pray

 

IS it like this in the real aircraft too, or is CCRP still wip ?

CCRP is still, work in progress as far as I'm aware.

Reading the manual and trying to learn how to properly do it. So far;

Looking at A1-AV8BB-TAC-000,

page 2-57

The pilot steers to null out the azimuth error

and then enables weapon release by pressing the

A/G release (bomb pickle) button.

 

page 2-125

The last seconds prior to release should be devoted to flying a steady state platform and accepting the parameters that have been achieved. AUTO releases should concentrate on smoothly flying the velocity vector (A.K.A. Flight path marker on other aircraft) onto the azimuth steering line and unless conducting dive toss releases, allow the release cue to come down to meet the velocity vector, vice accelerating the velocity vector into the release cue.
