The bomb fall line extending from the impact point indicates the vertical earth axis from<br />

the pipper origin.<br />

Free-fall ammunition is indicated by "АБ" below the pitch scale.<br />

"Launch Authorized" indicates that all the primary release conditions such as range, altitude<br />

and velocity are satisfied and the weapon can be safely released.<br />

"ОПТ ЗЕМЛЯ" in the lower left corner indicates the visual bombing mode.<br />

Weapon availability and state of readiness are indicated along the bottom of the HUD.<br />

Figure 25 illustrates the display when aerial bombs are suspended from the 2nd, 3rd, 4th,<br />

8th, 9th, and 10th hardpoints. The flashing square framing hardpoint 2 indicates the ready<br />

weapon.<br />

High drag munitions and some cluster submunitions may follow a strongly curved trajectory that puts<br />

their impact point below the lower edge of the visible HUD at almost any angle of dive, so that the<br />

CCIP pipper can not be visibly placed onto the target. In this case the continuously-computed release<br />

point (CCRP) or "invisible zone" bombing mode is used instead of CCIP.<br />

In the CCRP mode, the pipper is visible at the extreme lower edge of the HUD. The pilot maneuvers<br />

the aircraft to place the pipper over the target, pulls the trigger and holds it pressed. The pipper<br />

becomes a fixed diamond to mark the target. A director circle appears in the upper half of the HUD<br />

to help the pilot fly the aircraft to the release point. The tip of the "keel" of the aircraft datum symbol<br />

in the HUD should be kept aligned with the center of the director circle. The pilot flies the aircraft<br />

with the trigger held depressed until the bombs are automatically released.<br />
