Kneeboards for AV-8B Night Attack V/STOL for guided weapon employment, and other weapons

[609_Relentov]

I put together some simple procedural kneeboards for the AV8BNA, placed in the User Files section.

As stated these are not official procedures, just what I've put together as a quick reminder on how to employ various guided weapons on the AV8B/NA (after not flying it for a while).  Kneeboards included:

Here's a pic of one of the kneeboards in-sim.

After testing with the Harrier, I added a step to use TDC Action/No Action Toggle to ground stabilize TPOD when using snowplow mode.  Updated the following kneeboards that use the TPOD:

Inspired by Tricker's JDAM ripple YouTube video, I added a kneeboard for rippling JDAMS in TOO mode using the TPOD:

That video completely changed my Harrier experience.

I updated some of the kneeboards that use the TPOD with laser guided weapons, to add a step to change the laser code, if needed.  This is due to the AV-8B setting the laser code to 1111 with weight on wheels, so you should change the code (e.g. 1688) prior to employing laser guided weapons.  Also made some minor cosmetic changes.

I made some additional changes - I updated the following two kneeboards for JDAMs, adding a step to briefly fire the laser for more accurate target position coordinates when using the TPOD:

Also added the following kneeboard for JDAMs, for using the Automatic Target Handoff System (ATHS), where target selection is performed by using the F10 Map, and targets are automatically loaded into the flight plan:

I've been looking for exactly this, thanks!

Added the following kneeboard for using the AIM-9 Sidewinder and AGM-122 Sidearm, along with the GAU-12 gun pod in both air-to-air and air-to-ground modes:
