T-45C Weapons System
AIR-TO-GROUND DATA ENTRY
The T-45C navigation and weapons
Main MENU
delivery system defaults to various
displays. Before air-to-ground sorties,
you must assure that the STORES
system is programmed to support your
mission plan (Figure 8). Target data
STORES
will be stored in the system memory,
(NAV mode)
retained for application in flight.
The T-45C carries MK 76 bombs and/
or 2.75 FFARs. The gun is “always
A/G mode
available” and is simulated on the
centerline station. It is presumed to
have unlimited ammo; therefore, no
ammo countdown is provided.

The DEU/mission computer does not

WAYPOINT AND OFFSET DATA:
Mission profiles determine in what

manner you may employ waypoints
and offsets. Remember that each
offset (0-359.9 degrees and 0-99.9 nm
distance) is associated with an active
WAYPOINT HEIGHT +/-
waypoint; changing waypoint coordi-
nates deletes offset data associated
with that waypoint. Also, when

selecting a waypoint, an offset causes
replacement of CCIP target height with
that height.
