RB-15F - how to investigate reason of inabliity to launch missile?

[Amarok_73]

Hello,

The problem/question is as in the subject: how to determine, what is the reason causing inability to launch the RB-15F?
Does the mode selector, weapon selector, Bx waypoints have to be set in some specific sequence? The cardridge not in the slot can cause such problem?

Common issues are: 

• out of altitude range for launch
• Bx6 or Bx7 are behind you or out of sequence
• Bx9 is too close to Bx8. Needs to be at least 30 sec flight time or something.  If you move Bx8 you might have to also move Bx9.
• Bx7 turn angle is too tight.

Thank You @Machalot.

So the sequence of "switchology" has no meaning for it?

EDIT:
All right, it seems that the Bx9 was too close to Bx8 in my case. Thank You @Machalot for hint!

Weapon mode must be ATTACK.

Master mode can be NAV, ANF, or (I think) SPA.

Trigger UNSAFE.  

I would recommend setting the switches in that sequence. I have problems sometimes if I UNSAFE first and then switch the master mode.
