Basic Functions

 

The basic functions of the Instructor Control Panel are described in this section. Those are check mission data, view mission geometry and create new or abort tasks.

Check Mission Data 

Before a mission is added to the task list, properties such as heading, distance, and target elevation can be compared to actual values.  Once the “Validate” button is clicked, the actual values appear red. 

 

Mission Geometry 

Geometry is displayed in two ways. 

1.  When the “Validate” button is clicked, basic mission geometry is displayed.
1. Start Location: None, grid 5600 6600, Attack Details: grid 5960 6350, weapon 500lb bomb, and Egress: KEYHOLE, D 3

Re-Attack 

Instructors can re-attack any task. The same Start Location, Attack Details, Egress and Remarks will be used.

1.  Select an active mission, then select any task (any color).
2. Click “Execute” or “Re-Attack”.  New task will be added to that mission.

 

Abort or End Missions 

To abort a mission, select an active mission and a task.  Click “Abort” button to end the selected Task.  Aircraft will return to the last holding area.
To End a Mission, Select an active mission.  Click “End Mission” button.  This will end all tasks for this asset.  The Instructor must click “Create Mission” to assign new tasks for this asset.
