When in Guns mode on the A–10 aircraft, what is the primary (default) firing reference symbology?
- CCIP Gun Cross.
- CCIP Gun Reticle.
- 4000 Ft Gun Cross.
- 4/8/12 Gun Reticle.
Correct Answer

A. CCIP Gun Reticle.

Explanation

In Guns mode on the A-10 aircraft, the primary (default) firing reference symbology is the CCIP Gun Reticle. This means that when the aircraft is in Guns mode, the reticle displayed on the HUD (Head-Up Display) is the CCIP Gun Reticle, which provides the pilot with the necessary information and aiming reference to accurately fire the aircraft's guns. The other options mentioned, such as CCIP Gun Cross and 4000 Ft Gun Cross, are not the primary firing reference symbology in Guns mode on the A-10 aircraft.

When you want to deliver ordnances on targets outside the A–10 heads up display (HUD) field of view (FOV), which HUD mode would you use?
- Navigation (NAV).
- Continuously computed impact point (CCIP).
- Continuously computed release point (CCRP).
- GUNS.
Correct Answer

A. Continuously computed release point (CCRP).

Explanation

When you want to deliver ordnances on targets outside the A-10 heads up display (HUD) field of view (FOV), you would use the Continuously computed release point (CCRP) HUD mode. This mode allows the pilot to compute the release point for the ordnance based on factors such as aircraft speed, altitude, and target location. It provides accurate aiming information for targets that are not visible in the HUD FOV, ensuring effective delivery of ordnances.
