A – Planning

The attack consists of approaching the target at low

level (50 m), then pull up to 200 m, line up the target,

use radar ranging to provide ranging information, and

then release bombs based on release cues.

This technique does not require a pre-planned

navigation point. However, keep in mind that the

barometric pressure setting must be set correctly if

you want to have a valid TIR (Target Indicator Ring),

which requires a QFE setting value from the

kneeboard. This value can only be obtained from an

existing waypoint in the vicinity of the target where

the target elevation is about the same as the

waypoint’s.

You can also choose to not use a pre-planned

navigation point, but in that case you will not have

any TIR (Target Indicator Ring) over the target and will

have to designate the target using the Reticle Dot. In

that situation, you do not need to set the QFE value.

CCRP (Continuously Computed Release Point) is pretty

much a synonym for level bombing, which is very

effective on static targets.
