target is ever so slightly below the 35 degree pitch ladder and the Velocity Vector is ever so<br />

slightly below the 30 degree pitch ladder. The same technique can be used for the 20 degree<br />

pattern, referencing the 25 and 20 degree pitch ladders. The 10 degree TPA is 4 degrees and<br />

requires a bit more of an eyeball calibration to see 4 degrees.<br />

802. CONTINUOUSLY COMPUTED IMPACT POINT (CCIP) DELIVERY MODE<br />

The CCIP delivery mode is a computed mode which features a continuously computed impact<br />

point for the release cue. The pilot is required to fly the aircraft in a manner which places the<br />

CCIP release cue (CCIP pipper) over the target and manually press the weapon release button or<br />

Gun trigger. To aid the pilot in CCIP pipper tracking during bomb delivery, a vertical line,<br />

called a Bomb Fall Line (BFL) extends below the Velocity Vector to the CCIP pipper. In the<br />

uncaged HUD mode, this line represents the trajectory of the bomb as it falls from the aircraft to<br />

the CCIP pipper. The CCIP pipper should indicate the location the bomb will impact the ground<br />

based on the existing aircraft parameters.<br />
