CHAPTER EIGHT T-<strong>45</strong> <strong>WEAPONS</strong>/<strong>STRIKE</strong><br />

Figure 8-5 Initial Sight Picture<br />

Here is what a good initial sight picture looks like. Notice by placing the Velocity Vector 3<br />

degrees above the target at 7,000’ msl, it results in the planned flight path angle of 30 degrees.<br />

Notice the target is 33 degrees depressed.<br />

Figure 8-6 Shallow/Good/Steep Initial Sight Pictures<br />

There are three types of Initial Sight Pictures. They are either: Shallow, Good, or Steep. Just<br />

looking at the target in relation to the pitch ladders, notice the figure on the left shows the target<br />

laying closer to the 30 degree pitch ladder or less than 3 degrees depressed from the planned dive<br />

angle. This is called a Shallow Initial Sight Picture. The figure in the middle shows the target<br />

pretty much half way between the 30 and 35-degree pitch ladder or 2 ½ to 3 degrees depressed<br />
