T-<strong>45</strong> <strong>WEAPONS</strong>/<strong>STRIKE</strong> CHAPTER ONE<br />

altimeter must be turned off. However, turning off the radar altimeter in the T-<strong>45</strong>C, considering<br />

our training environment is very rare.<br />

104. T-<strong>45</strong>C AIR-TO-GROUND DATA ENTRY<br />

MFD A/G Stores Display Data Entry<br />

The T-<strong>45</strong>C is capable of carrying MK 76 bombs and/ or 2.75 FFARs. The gun is "always<br />

available" and is simulated on the centerline station. It is presumed to have unlimited ammo;<br />

therefore, no ammo countdown is provided.<br />

The DEU/mission computer does not monitor status of the simulated gun, bomb racks, rocket<br />

launchers, or weapons. Upon command to release a weapon (pickle button), the T-<strong>45</strong>C system<br />

counts down according to the number of times the release button is depressed. There is not a<br />

mechanical or electrical interface to wing stations; therefore, it is possible for the system to count<br />

down, even though a weapon is not released or is "hung."<br />

The T-<strong>45</strong>C navigation and weapons delivery system defaults to various displays. Before air-toground<br />

sorties, you must assure that the STORES system is programmed to support your mission<br />

plan (Figures 1-7 thru 1-9). Weapons programming and data entry will be retained in the system<br />

memory for application in flight.<br />

To select the A/G Stores Display, select: MENU / STRS / A/G options on the MFD. Selecting<br />

the weapon / station combination next will call up the specific default displays. The system<br />

defaults to the manual (MAN) - GUN Delivery Mode.<br />
