JDAM AUTO LOFT?

[moggel]

Trying to get my head around how to loft JDAMs. Can't find much in the manual and Google doesn't offer much detail either.

 

This is what I've tried:

1. Select the JDAM(s), set QTY and goto TOO mode

2. Select TGT DELIVERY = AUTO LOFT and set an angle (15 or 30 degrees)

3. Designate a target using the T-POD (coordinates do update on the MSN page)

4. Dive away, extend and reverse back for a NOE run-in at hight speed (~500kt)

 

At this point the designated point (on HSI/SA page) often has changed to some point between what I designated and where I'm currently at. No idea why.

 

5. Wait until about 30s remaining on TMR then pull up to the configured angle and wait for cue to start dropping

6. Drop, wait 1-2s then pull away etc.

 

JDAMs don't even get close to the target

 

Have I got this all wrong?

I dont think LOFT is fully implemented yet.
