T-<strong>45</strong>C CCIP Delivery Mode – Objective<br />
Figure 1-6 T-<strong>45</strong>C A/G HUD – Gun/RKTS<br />
The objective of a CCIP delivery is to fly the aircraft in a manner to arrive at or close to the<br />
planned release parameters (altitude, airspeed and dive angle) with the CCIP cue close to the<br />
intended aiming point. When the CCIP cue superimposes the target, the pickle button / trigger<br />
should be actuated to initiate weapons release / firing. In the CCIP delivery mode, the DEU /<br />
weapons computer computes error corrections required if deviations occur from the planned<br />
release parameters as well as adjust for release wind direction and velocity. Remember, the<br />
CCIP mode is not magical. The computed impact point relies on the data entered and a smooth<br />
tracking run to solve the bombing triangle equation. Detailed instruction on the techniques and<br />
procedures of CCIP weapons delivery, getting the aircraft to arrive at or close to the planned<br />
release parameters, will be discussed in later chapters.<br />
Target Height (TGHT) Entry for the CCIP Mode<br />
The CCIP delivery mode uses the radar altimeter for it’s height above target (HAT) computation.<br />
When the radar altimeter is off (e.g. when above 5,000’ agl, becomes invalid, or turned off), the<br />
system uses BARO altitude minus either the active/selected waypoint elevation or the entered<br />
TGHT, whichever was selected or entered last, for the HAT computation. When using the CCIP<br />
mode, target elevation should be entered into the system. This prevents a “jump” in the CCIP<br />
release cue when descending through 5,000’ agl as the radar altimeter redisplays. During a<br />
bomb run in rugged terrain, the pipper may jump around as the aircraft passes over terrain of<br />
varying heights. To force the system to use BARO altitude, versus radar altitude, the radar<br />
