T-<strong>45</strong> <strong>WEAPONS</strong>/<strong>STRIKE</strong> APPENDIX A<br />

Initial Sight Picture (ISP):<br />

Initial Target Placement (ITP):<br />

Interval: The aircraft ahead of you in the pattern; also the distance between you and the aircraft<br />

ahead of you.<br />

Iron Sight: A fixed gun-, rocket-, or bombsight; no computer is used to aid the pilot in aiming.<br />

See also Manual Delivery.<br />

L<br />

Lame Duck Pattern: The pattern flown by a pilot who for some reason cannot finish his flight<br />

but does not have a serious emergency.<br />

Late Sight Picture: The aircraft arrives at release altitude before the pipper arrives at the final<br />

aimpoint. Will usually result in a long hit.<br />

LAU 68: The rocket launcher used for 2.75" practice rockets; also called "rocket pod."<br />

Line of Flight: The aircraft path through the air.<br />

Line of Sight: A line from the pilot's eye through the pipper.<br />

M<br />

Manual Delivery: Weapons delivery unaided by computer; see also Iron Sight.<br />

Mil: 1/6400 of a circle; 17.<strong>45</strong> mils = 1 degree. 1 mil subtends 1 unit at 1,000 units (1 mil covers<br />

1 foot at 1,000 feet).<br />

Mil Setting: See Sight Depression Angle.<br />

N<br />

NORDO: No Radio. Refers to a pilot who is unable to receive voice communications. He will<br />

still broadcast in the blind until established in the lame duck pattern.<br />

O<br />

Offset Aimpoint: An aimpoint displaced from the center of the target to compensate for wind at<br />

release altitude. Calculated by using the following formula:<br />

D=1.7xTxW (offset) = 1.7 x (time of flight) x (wind)<br />
