6.3 Ground Ops

6.3    Ground Ops.

The majority of the changes to your avionics and UFCP can and should be made on the ground. The EGI steer-point plan should match your flight lead (the card) in order to avoid confusion in the air when discussing different targets. Most scenarios will involve an initial point (IP) for reference, and two or more steer points with preplanned target coordinates. You will also be simulating weapons other than BDU-33s, so you will update the weapons menu on the MFD to reflect your simulated weapons. Your flight lead will also be directive as to what weapons program will be assigned to each bomb type and delivery parameters. Because you will probably have more products than you are used to, a good discussion on cockpit organization is warranted.
