CHAPTER FIVE T-45 WEAPONS/STRIKE
The system is now set for your first run on the target. All that remains for weapons delivery
setup is to select A/G HUD master mode on the “Fenced In” call and place Master Arm Switch
to ARM on the roll in.
Arming Procedures
Refer to local directives for all arming procedures.
The typical sequence of the Mk 76 Arming procedures:
1. A Lead Ordnanceman will position himself in front of the aircraft and signal for you to
place your hands up.
2. Place your hands up above the canopy rail to be completely in view during weapons
arming. Hands should be idle unless a safety/emergency situation dictates.
3. The Lead then signals to an ordnanceman under the wing to remove the Safety Pin from the
PMBR/BRU-38/A.
4. The Ordnanceman under the wing removes the PMBR/BRU-38/A Safety Pin and places
the Station Selector to “1”. He then shows you the pin(s) he removed.
5. The Ordnanceman then hands the pins to the Lead Ordnanceman standing in front of the
aircraft.
6. The Lead Ordnanceman will indicate he has the two pins, secure them in a pouch, then pass
you off to the Plane Captain for taxi instructions.
Rocket arming will be accomplished as per local / airfield directives.
Marshalling / Taxi Procedures
Marshalling, Comm check-in, and Taxi procedures are accomplished as in Division Formation.
For special procedures/Detachment operations, refer to local course rules and directives.
Takeoff Procedures
Division Interval Takeoff procedures are the standard takeoff plan. Weather may dictate
deviations to the standard and will be accomplished as briefed by the Weapons Flight Lead.
