[2.9.5.55300] Mavericks should be able to aimed and launched prior to 3 minute gyro spin up period

Currently, the AGM-65 is completely inhibited from usage until the ARM light shows up for its respective station but, however, in the 1986 T.O. 1F-4E-34-1-1 page 1-142, it states that you can launch an AGM-65 prior to the ARM light coming on since the light circuit is a timing device and not a launch interlock. It states as a caveat that activating the missile prior to completion of gyro warmup may result in severe damage to the guidance unit and if the gyro is not up to speed on activation, the display will probably jiggle and target identification may be difficult.

I also think this implies that if the 3 minute gyro spin up has already occurred and the Mavericks have been deselected and reselected in a reasonable amount of time, there shouldn't be much if any negative effects when trying to use them.
