What is the mark (red circle) in the attached on the AIM-9 HUD?

 

I don't see it mentioned in manuals. Could it be a gun range indicator?

According to the hud symbology that is the minimum range it can be fired as far as I know, everything closer than that it shouldnt work, or you are too close so the blast can dmg you too if it hits.

Thanks, but no, Rmin is the triangle next to my ringed mark.

Ah you are right, I completely subbed them... nvm

 

 

 

Did you had your HUD caged?

No, but why would that matter?

When HUD is caged you don't have any wind direction indicator, maybe it shows wind direction, just a guess.

Thanks, but that is not the answer.

Gun Maximum Range

 

Yep, that's what I guessed in the first post. Do you know that for sure, or are you just guessing? Not seen that mark shown anywhere in manuals or guides for the AIM-9.

 

It is mentioned in the EA guide as you said on p275-276, but that is for the AIM-7. Nothing on the AIM-9 on p266., but presumably it is the same thing, just themanual needs updating.

According to the video by Wags, it's the range to the target

 

 

Thanks, but sorry, but you're looking at the wrong mark. You're talking about the one on the inside at around 3 o'clock in my image. We are talking about the one ringed in red on the outside.

 

We've established that it is gun range.

You're right, I was confused myself as I just went back to watch it, and realised he was already at Rmin. Thought it was a seperate cue for missile to target range.
