Trouble with BK 90

[skypickle]

I made a flight plan in F10 map with a couple of waypoints, B1 and B2. I did the steps in the picture attached. The picture is a mix of three snapshots:

1)the F10 map in the planning phase on the left

2)a pic of the kneeboard page

3)the F10 map after BK 90 release

I dont know why the BK 90 turned and headed back to Batumi ..

Bx points are not relevant to the bk90

Just as a heads up, you can add the M2 point directly from the map, no need to add it as a B point and changing it later.

That said, did you verify that you had WP 2 selected before releasing the weapon?

dont remember. will try again. I thought the existence of an M2 point was sufficient and I thought it would switch to M2 automatically after B1.

it will go to the currently selected waypoint, regardless of what type it is.

as for automatic waypoint switching, that only happens in NAV mode. In ANF it will stay on the current waypoint even if you overfly it, so manual selection is required.

thank you. got it to work. only issue now is nav drift. since the targets are over water I did not do any fixes. I should have done a target fix. I was off by a couple of hundred meters. next time I will need to fly along the coast where I can have a couple of waypoints set up for nav fixes as well.

 

I know, bk90s are not for ships but I was wondering what kind of damage they could inflict.

Your nav drift will also be better over water if you put the Doppler mode switch in SJÖ.

Can I ask what that does?
