RPPL (Ripple). Subsequent selection of the firing mode option will cycle between the two.<br />

6. Master Armament Status. Indicates the Master Arm status: SAFE or ARM as selected<br />

via the Master Arm Panel.<br />

7. Weapon Quantity Indication. This serves as a counter only and has no interface between<br />

the PMBR and the STORES page. The weapon quantity has default settings of RKT – 7; BOMB<br />

– 6; and GUN - has no counter and is unlimited. It is important to select the correct bomb/rocket<br />

quantity to match the actual load on the aircraft. Inflight, with the armament system energized,<br />

each press of the weapon release button will cause the selected quantity to decrease by one.<br />

103. T-<strong>45</strong>C AIR-TO-GROUND HUD SYMBOLOGY<br />

The T-<strong>45</strong>C A/G mode may be entered by pressing the mode button on the DEP or by selecting<br />

A/G on the stores display. The T-<strong>45</strong>C A/G HUD is designed to display two types of weapon<br />

delivery modes: Manual (MAN) and Continuously Computed Impact Point (CCIP). These<br />

delivery modes are selectable through the MFD Stores Display. The A/G HUD can be used in<br />

either caged or uncaged mode. The system defaults to uncaged and is the normal and<br />

recommended mode.<br />

T-<strong>45</strong>C A/G HUD Manual Delivery Mode Symbology<br />

The Manual delivery mode HUD symbology, in addition to the normal gear up NAV symbology,<br />

provides: MAN mode indication, selected weapon indication, MASTER ARM status, the<br />

Depressed Sight Line (DSL) aiming reticle and DSL mil setting indication, as shown in Figure<br />

1-3. The MAN mode provides a fixed impact point based on the planned parameters (e.g. dive<br />

angle, airspeed and altitude) of weapon delivery.<br />
