When does the weapons initialization process begin?

Pre-mission planning with the DTC

What setting (weapons initialization) are programed with the DTC?

power up configuration", laser codes, additional R model delay settings, etc.

When should the weapons operational check be conducted

Before leaving available maintenance

What FLIR fields of view are boresighted with the TADS internal boresight?

Narrow and zoom

During his DMS sweep your CPG announces he is setting his color banding to "aircraft". what situational awareness does this provide?

Dynamic color shading of terrain

What do the shaded colors represent (what altitudes)?

Red at or above aircraft's current altitude; yellow within 50 feet of aircraft's current altitude

What is the difference in color banding and threat vis shading?

Intervisibility shading for selected threats, targets, etc.

Your CPG is conducting the FCR operational check. He asks you what terrain mode and priority scheme to set. You are expecting moving column of armored vehicles in an open desert valley.
what terrain mode will you tell him to set?

MTI or Desert-Scrub Loose or tight if too many false returns

What priority scheme will you tell him to set? C

airborne and moving ground targets

Your platoon departs, flys the assigned route, and is RP inbound to your primary ABF. You intend to establish a 60 OGE hover in your firing position.
what are your performance considerations before occupying the ABF?

Is OGE power available? Margin? Winds?

Why does it require more power to hover OGE vs IGE?

Rotor tip vortex, induced flow velocity

What determines if you have forced landing or fly away plan?

Avoid region on PPC

What factors can leading to your aircraft experiencing settling with power or vortex ring state?

Slow forward airspeed below ETL, vertical descent > 300 FMP, great 20% of available power applied with insufficient remaining to arrest decent

When the enemy column is in the EA you unmask and conduct an FCR scan.
What factors affect the prioritization of FCR targets in the EA for your aircraft?

Priority fire zone, Priority scheme, merged target

What is one method you can store an FCR target?

TGT button (L4) ALL, store update, cursor

Current ROE states you must visually identify all targets. How can your CPG visually acquire the NTS target?

Link

What delay setting do instruct your CPG to set?

SQ (super quick) which is default

When would you use other delay settings?

Boat, bunker, building

What LOAL trajectory is optimal for use against a tank? What angle will it impact the target?

LOFT, 35 degrees

Where in relation to the enemy troops should be place his TADS LOS? Offset and short

(chapter 14 of .45) talk about fragmentation pattern

How long should hold a steady laser to ensure a proper ballistic solution from the TSE?

4 seconds "settling" time

What collective input should accompany your left lateral cyclic input? Why?

Decrease, transient torque

As you are nearing the start point of your return route your PNVS fails.
What are your actions?

NVS Select switch (PLT) - TADS
Warning - Exit the NOE environment
Use of NVGs
