Initial Sight Picture Review<br />

Figure 10-4 Initial Sight Picture Review<br />

As you can see, a shallow initial sight picture puts the aircraft below the “wire” or below the<br />

bombing triangle. This equates to the target being less than 3 degrees depressed below the<br />

planned dive angle. The target appears to be around 31 to 31½ degrees.<br />

A good initial sight picture puts the aircraft on the “wire” or on the bombing triangle. This<br />

equates to the target being 3 degrees depressed below the planned dive. The target appears to be<br />

33 degrees.<br />

A steep initial sight picture puts the aircraft above the “wire” or above the bombing triangle.<br />

This equates to the target being more than 3 degrees depressed below the planned dive. The<br />

target appears to be around 34 to 34 ½ degrees.<br />
